he's done pho and thai food before. in the CA days and even the first couple years in TN he would review asian and middle eastern places on fat on the go. it's only been the last 4 years or so where he suddenly stopped reviewing anything that's not bbq, burgers, or strip mall mexican joints
jack has always been an uncultured redneck though. here's a video from 2011 where he goes to a pho restaurant and it's clearly his first time since he keeps going WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THAT? to all the sauces on the table and menu items. in OC, there's pho places like this all over the place, and when you get to cities like garden grove and westminster with huge vietnamese populations, you literally have one on every street corner. so jack not having tried pho until he was 40 something after growing up in OC just proves he was born to be a dumb redneck
