Meet Anthony Bourdain’s Favorite ‘Lunch Lady’

"Fifteen years ago, the late chef Anthony Bourdain fell in love with the food at a nameless lunch stall in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. Years later, those timeless recipes have made their way to Vancouver, Canada at the aptly named Lunch Lady. Suelee Wright/The Lunch Lady. The most popular dish is steak luc lac, also a favorite of the Lunch Lady herself. Instead of chopping and stir-frying the beef, the chefs use French sous vide techniques with inspiration from Canadian steaks." - Michael He
