In a recent article in Huffington Post, Squires praised HCM City as among top 10 fall trips for food lovers.

“Some say that sampling street food is a national sport in Vietnam. That's because of the vast quality and variety available in the market stalls, street carts, and river banks day and night. Saigon Street Eats takes travelers to Ho Chi Minh City's best-kept secrets, from pho palaces to coffee houses to streets lined with shellfish. Snackers at the end of this tour not only end up sated, but leave with a new vocabulary of Vietnam's victuals,” Squires gushed.
