visiting the veneto today, we can still enjoy ingredients first brought home by the merchants of venice and eat the dishes they created with them in their city by the sea. very clever people with a taste for adventure. this is technically paris, and this is the banlieue, a six-lane highway separates two places right next to each other, but emotionally and philosophically, they're a world apart. ♪ >> when was it you came for the first time? >> you know what? i never came here on my own. no one comes to this neighborhood. americans really don't. who is going to tell you to come here? >> yeah. >> how would you find out about

it? it's not in a pamphlet. and i was amazed. because the moment you come off the subway, you don't feel like you're in paris. >> no. >> the paris that you see. it's like the first time i went to brooklyn. this is new york? it's the rhythm and the energy of the place. that's fantastic. that's when you know you've left the main strip of paris when you start seeing signs that say "i met god. she's black". find that next to the tilleries, not going to happen. >> i'm colton mccoy. raised and educated in d.c., raised in kitchens around the world. i'm a nomad, driven to move in and out of different culture, different worlds. to celebrate diversity by embracing what makes us both unique and the same. after all, we carry our travels with us to the next destination. that's what life is all about.

let's do this. ♪ ah, paris. it's hard not to fall in love. when i first visited this city, i was 26 years old. i was studying for the master sommelier exam and had a decade of cooking classic cuisine under my belt. like so many before me, i came here with a romantic notion of what i would find, and paris didn't let me down. i ate and drank my way through the city. the river seine, the louvre, the champ-elysees and the eiffel tower. ♪ tick-tock, tick-tock ♪ >> paris saul of that, but it's also so much more. coming back again and again over the years, i've discovered that what it means to be parisian is actually deeply complex. i've started exploring beyond the center to the outskirts of this great city, to the suburbs. or as they say in french, the banlieue.

some of the most exciting art, music, culture and food is actually coming from here. and every time i come back to paris, i'm able to dig deeper and explore more. so for all intents and purposes, this isn't technically the subway. it's like a commuter train. this is for people who are commuting from longer distances, typically outside of the city center. the city is split into 20 interior neighborhoods called the ar aaron aronald dismentes t circle out. everything on the inside is considered paris proper. everything on the outside the suburbs. also known as the banlieue parisian. surrounding are dozens of suburban communities, each with their own personality and flavor that all fall under the umbrella of greater paris. but most tourists, as well as many parisians never venture

outside of the city center. everything in downtown is really sort of engineered to be like a french disneyland. but ultimately, i think once you leave that center of the city, you start to see what life is like in paris, how people live. it was my love of french food that first brought me to paris, and it's my love of french food that is kicking off my journey to the suburbs. only out here, the definition of what is french is a whole different story. >> we have a server in training here. she has her pen, note. cheers? >> cheers. >> reporter: wendy nguyen is a photographer and founder of indy magnificent arcades which documents life in the suburbs and the diversity each neighborhood brings to the cultural mix. including a sleepy green suburb to the east of paris that has

the highest proportion of asians. she is inviting me here to experience the type of cuisine you can only find in this neighborhood. this is a hodgepodge there. is a reason why you ordered. i looked at the menu. you could see a lot was vietnamese and there was some thai, chinese, all in one. is that normal here, mixed cuisines? >> yeah, because you have different immigrants from different -- and that's why you have this fusion of foods. >> so this is like an expression of how the community is? >> yeah, exactly. >> that smells great. >> this is the soup phnom penh. i eat since i was a kid. and i can only eat it in france. so you have to mix it. >> so the cambodian soup -- is it actually cambodian? >> i was asking my parents. they were saying in vietnam, people say it's cambodian people cook this, or chinese people

that went to cambodia that then went to vietnam and cook this, and then those people went to europe. >> it's very complicated. >> it's super complicated. the broth is made of dried shrimp, dried squid, and you've got pork bone. and then you have the noodles. the vermicelli rice noodle. >> the noodles are then layered with prawns, minced pork and fish cake and topped with sauces, cilantro and scallions. this is fantastic. but the broth is great because it's actually pretty delicate. you have this unique thing here where all these asian cultures collide. when someone asks you, what are you, where are you from, that sort of question? >> it's a good question, because i definitely say i'm french. but then i can see the look of people. >> where are you really from? >> you look a bit asian. yes. okay. i'll just instantly say french to see people's reaction,

because i love that. >> because you are french. >> because i am french. at the same time, i also feel like in france, the notion of race is quite taboo. who is really french or who's, you know, who really represent like france, you know. it's something that's really hard to talk about. the good thing is i see the younger generations, the kids, they are less afraid of speak:00 it, which is good. >> do you think that your work will perhaps help parisians to engage more with these neighborhoods? >> hopefully can influence to come out and meet those people. >> maybe you can convince them with the food. because it's really hard. the food is incredible. let's just eat, you know? you can teach about six different asian countries just on this table. >> in just this dish, exactly. >> like windy, i come from a mixed background. i'm often faced with the question what are you?

where are you from? in the u.s., we're just starting to wrap our heads around the idea that people can come from multiple backgrounds. it's fascinating how this is going down in paris, and i need someone to break it down for me. someone who has a foot in both worlds. >> i never understood why you have to be so quiet in church. where i grew up, church was very loud. so this is a pretty significant church? >> if you're a king in france, you governed in paris. and then when you died, you were brought here. >> so they're buried here? >> every king. >> like they're here? the body are here. ♪ >> mike ladd is an american hip-hop artist who has toured the world and spent the last 17 years living in paris. he invited me to the basilica to talk about how urban culture in paris is different from suburban culture in america. >> all the bones from clovis are here in this great big black city.

♪ >> it was the historic resting place for the non-narcotics of france. >> it's the last thing i expected to see in saint-denis. i didn't expect to see this church, very grandois. >> it's at least 60% muslim. but everybody is here. >> give me an idea what is a banlieue like? what are these places? >> if you keep new york in mind. >> that's how i tried to understand it. like a borough. >> if you keep a new york frame of mind -- >> now you sound like nas. >> but a banlieue is exactly what it is. it's a suburb. the only difference between our concept of a suburb, our concept is still the 1950s concept. the suburb were the bucolic place where the nuclear family

that was white would go live, especially when they were scare to have had black people in the city. here it's different. when black people started moving into central paris, central parisians didn't leave. they're like oh, why don't you go out to the banlieue. so you have poor and working class suburbs all the way over to very wealthy suburbs. essentially, it functions like a clock. say st.-denis is noon. so if you go up to 10:00, 10:30, all the way down to 7:35, that's all working class suburbs and different demographics too. people of the african diaspora down to the caribbean down to about 5:35. and then a significant asian from vietnam and also a big chinese population. and as soon as you get to seren

and saint krue, oh, that's just rich. >> we need to discuss this. how you went from boston to the ban loo. >> first, it was boston bronx. >> boston to the bronx to the ban banlieue. this is an autobiography in the making here right now. >> yeah, it was a love story. i moved here strictly for love. and then everything happened in a whirlwind. i feel like a fish out of water. and somebody, a friend of mine calls me up. hey, i'm staying in st.-denis. come out and see me. are breath of fresh air, just like going to d.c. in the '70s. chocolate city. ♪ it's the people cooking shish kebab out and shopping carts out. it's all these different smells. i could go down one street and feel like i was in dakar.

italian american. my family, african american. >> the thing about france is since the revolution, when we said all men are created equal, they said egalite, fraternity. they took it verbatim, up to a point. but at least on paper, that meant it was illegal to discriminate. rules against taking census on account of race. what it means, though, it means there is no paper trail to expose all the racism that has happened over the last 300 years. >> liberte, egalite and fraternity means liberty, equality and brotherhood. it's the backbone of french universalism, which says you are french first and foremost. but why can't you be french and still embrace your cultural roots? after all, this isn't a white country or a black country or an asian or muslim country. france is constantly evolving based on who lives here. that's what truly defines its

>> cardamom? >> yes. >> chinese clove. vietnamese? >> exactly. a french classic, consomme, but done in the style of vietnamese pha. i've never seen it prepared like this. tell him i have a leather tongue. while chef pele may be cooking in a very traditional kitchen on the champ-elysees, he is not from the center of paris. he comes from the banlieue and was raised there before moving to the city center at age 25 .

it's interesting. it's when you have a love for great wine and great food, ultimately, i speak some french, but you almost don't need to speak the language you. sort of get it. there is a look and a nod. and to me that's almost unique to what we do, that you can travel around the world and share this connection. so to be able to be here cooking with the chef, it's very special. sort of chef pele's version of classical cuisine, but has found his own unique way to modernize

his own cuisine just a touch. the timelessness but boldly finished with caviar, leg of squab, squab again, but chicken fried this time and topped with japanese mustard and cured ham. classic french dishes turned on their heads, as exciting to eat as they were to help prepare. >> that makes sure that the fattiness of the foix cuts through everything. this is a bold move. for a very long time these dishes never changed. but each dish has to be incredibly untraditional or multiple things. this is not something that someone who is typically raised in this cuisine would do. >> the subways were people dreaming, really go at it to come to the city, you know what

i mean? so maybe that's where this force of doing this kind of things comes from. >> i understand. i grew up in a neighborhood where no one ate haut cuisine, no one. no one drank wine. people were working class, just trying to make it. i think when you're not from this place, you're more driven, like to prove yourself, to create an identity. i think i see that from the banlieue here is when people make to it the city, it's like you give it 110%. and you wake up and you're the chef. you know? chef pele's approach to cooking really resonates with me. while some may see this as nontraditional, to be honest with you, this is authentic french cooking. it's the evolution of a place that keeps things interesting. if this the future of haut cuisine, then i'm all in. these are the mowers i was telling you about.
