When I ate at ChoLon Modern Asian Bistro for this week’s Westword review, I was fascinated by how Lon Symensma and his partners, Jim and Alicia Deters, had reinterpreted the Southeast Asian market and turned it into a fine dining restaurant. And as I wrote the review, I referred frequently to the many photos I’d snapped of markets in Vietnam and Laos on a recent visit.
The markets in Asia have a frenetic energy, and they inspire all kinds of culinary experiences. Here are my favorite moments — from the beautiful to the ugly, the delicious to the incredibly strange — captured in the markets I visited on the Indochina peninsula.
