like a vietnamese subway!

before the tv show: the great food truck race on food network, bánh mì was a foreign phrase. oh? it's a foreign phrase for you? let me explain. a bánh mì is a vietnamese sub sandwich with a sweet and salty taste. sweet from the pickled daikon & pickled carrots and salty from the fish sauce. there are several meat choices and a good crunch from green bell peppers & cucumbers. super fresh from the cilantro and super cheap at $2.75 for an 8". find one anywhere there is a vietnamese population. i picked mine up at a far out new orleans vietnamese bakery.
