After opening their new petite French restaurant, Ze Foodiebus, owners Anne By and Bô By are this year offering the chance to travel with them on a culinary adventure.

On a quest to find new cooking traditions and fresh ingredients for their street 310 restaurant, the couple and a friend are set to take their yellow van to explore four destinations in Cambodia.

Over the course of their trip, the trio will film their encounters and publish news about the twists and turns of their cooking ventures. They will also set up a lucky draw: the winner will join them for a trip on Ze Foodiebus.

‘It May Be You’ is the name of the draw. “You” will be the warmly invited candidate to join the dream cooking team on the last leg of their road trip – a visit to Kep.

“We don’t want to be tied to the kitchen. We love what we do but we want to get out of the city,” says Anne. “We have that sense of wanderlust. So we had an idea to combine both high-quality cooking and travel.”

“We are looking for new people to share with them and see how they prepare their own dinner.”

The first stop of their tour will take them to the Kampong Cham province. They will head back to Phnom Penh and hit the road again towards Mondulkiri Province.

The pristine rugged coastline of Cambodia will be their final stop. “The ocean is a must. Crabs, seafood, there is so much to discover,” says Anne.

“We are offering somebody the opportunity to take off with us. It will be rough – this is no 5-star travel but it will still be awesome,” she adds with a characteristic grin.
