About this listen
When the check hits the table, so does the love. In this episode of Did You Eat Yet?, I reflect on my recent trip to Vietnam and the familiar scene of families fighting to pay the bill — a ritual that’s less about money and more about care. Growing up, I watched my parents argue at restaurants, sometimes loudly, over who would cover the meal. As a kid, it felt embarrassing or unnecessary. But with time, and especially after seeing it in Vietnam, I realized this was their way of protecting us, showing love, and holding on to dignity in a world that often tried to take it away. Receipt Wars is an homage to our parents’ immigrant love language: making sure we’re fed, safe, and never left wanting. Because at the end of the day, when we fight over the check, what we’re really saying is: “I’ve got you.”
We face trails and tribulations in our lives, we at the end of the day want you to not sleep on an empty stomach so... did you eat yet?
