Lucas tries catfish, bánh cuốn and unbeatable Vietnamese drinking food in Orange County | Off Menu

In this episode, Lucas visits Orange County chef Shawn Pham, formerly of the restaurants Simbal and Fiona, for some of the best Vietnamese food in the country. Shawn, who grew up in Orange County, takes Lucas to Bien Hen in Westminster for some classic Vietnamese drinking food — razor clams, spotted escargot and an enormous grilled catfish. They also go to Bánh Cuốn Luu Luyen in Garden Grove, where Delena Ta runs a small family-owned operation that specializes in bánh cuốn, or Vietnamese rice sheets.
