Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's most popular street food paradise, was the setting for the Vietnamese episode. It centers on two chefs, one who sells snails and the other who sells pho (beef or chicken noodle soup).
Truoc, a woman from Ho Chi Minh City, tells about learning to prepare snails the way her father did. Truoc's embryonic street-food company was plagued by people demanding high lease costs after his death, and her family was living in abject poverty. Her newborn infant died soon after birth, an occurrence she did not directly ascribe to the stress of fighting to survive, but it's clear that the two are linked. She, like many other street food vendors, had to save and borrow in order to buy more expensive ingredients, which was an important step in distinguishing herself from other street food vendors.
It also has information on two of Saigon's most popular street foods: com tam (broken rice with grilled pork, pig skin, egg, and fish sauce) and banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich).

272 Jong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South KoreaGwangjang Market's food stalls provide some of South Korea's most famous traditional favorites, such as soy-marinated crabs and knife-cut noodles.
In the Seoul episode, Cho Yong Soon cooks and sells knife-cut noodles in a public marketplace, and she shares a heartbreaking story of how she came to run such a popular establishment. Her husband announced that he'd gotten the family into debt after years of being a stay-at-home mother. Cho Yong Soon went to work because she needed to pay for her children's schooling, and she continued to work despite being ridiculed and mocked by the other market vendors.
Cho Yong Soon delivers thick and savory kalguksu (Korean knife-cut noodles) with a rich and flavorful broth. The noodles are soft and chewy, making them ideal for slurping. Her kimchi was "sublime," according to Daniel Gray, a food journalist and restaurant.

The episode opens with a seaside shack at daybreak, rather than umbrella-topped fish ball carts parked on busy sidestreets. As fishermen begin their morning routine, an elderly man wakes up, expecting them to return with a new batch of bakassi – small, slithering reef eels that would be cooked in a sour stew and distributed to dozens of guests each day.

Cultural historian Rana Safvi, for example, records the deadly impact of colonial India's 1947 split into the two nations of India and Pakistan, as well as how Hindu refugees from Punjab resettled in New Delhi, in the New Delhi episode. They imported Punjabi foods like "chole bhature," a chickpea curry served with fried bread that has subsequently "become very, very Delhi food," according to Safvi.
