Then she taught me how to make rice, and a couple of her recipes.
I'd LOVE to hear what Mario learned there. I can only imagine...

Doug,
If FTV re-runs the "old" US Iron Chef shows, Mario did use many ideas, techniques, ingredients and dishes that he adapted from is trip to Vietnam, in some of his battles after he returned from there.
I haven't seen any of it on his restaurants' menus, but most of his places are ethnic-specific.
