President Barack Obama had dinner with food personality and TV host Anthony Bourdain while he was traveling abroad in Vietnam, CNN announced Monday.

The dinner was filmed for an episode of CNN’s “Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown,” which returns in September for its eighth season. The network said the two were expected to discuss Obama’s interest in Vietnamese culture in the episode.

Obama embarked Saturday on a weeklong trip to Asia, where he was expected to discuss trade opportunities and visit Hiroshima, Japan.

Bourdain posted a photo of the dinner to Instagram:
