One could reasonably argue it's holding the world's food scene together ...
Japanese
Indian

Vietnamese
Korean

AB never came across as an a-hole or douche at all IMO.
Opinionated. Hardened a bit by his demons and craft. Empathetic. Genuinely curious about food and cultures. Great taste in music and film. Fun. Honest.
I get not everybody liked his shows ... but this wasn't a schtick, it wasn't phony ....

re: Is LAX the worst airport in the US

Not by a longshot, especially if you are flying Delta and out of Terminal 3. The Skylounge there is amazing and it's a breeze through TSA.

re: Vietnam: The Hot HOT Heat

I don't find it any hotter than say BR or Houston in August .... especially in the north or in Dalat.
But if you find yourself drinking a bit too much the night before, a midday walk the next day can be brutal.

If you are there that long, I highly recommend getting up to Hoi An, Hue, Halong and Hanoi at least. Perhaps even a day or so at Mui Ne, now that they have the new highway. Even Dalat or Danang.
As much as I love HCMC, it's gets a little repetitive (in the best way of course).

I don’t really associate Hoi A with Banh Mi’s as much …. Report back with some Cao Lau dishes !
It is a pleasant city especially with the beaches nearby …. Crowded by the river, but never feels too constricted. My Son is worth a visit as well.
