Description: There’s a massive Southeast Asian street food market hosted by Cambodian Americans in Philadelphia, but this market has a secret. In fact, for many years it was a secret, because local authorities would crack down on the city's Cambodian street food vendors for selling without a permit. Yara heads to Philadelphia's Southeast Asian Vendors Market to try some of the spectacular (!) food and learn how the Cambodian community fought to gain recognition for their fledgling market.
