The bread! Whenever someone tells me, “I like banh mi, but I hate cutting up the roof of my mouth,” I tell them they’ve only ever had bad banh mi then.

I’m in the Bay, but the only shops I like and recommend make their own bread. It’s crucial. And I think Americans should set higher standards for their banh mi.

Really enjoyed this piece :)

I am very open to the proposition that the banh mi is *the best sandwich,* bar none.

If I lived within a hundred miles of this place, I would be there *all the time.* 😋

I'm sure my amateur-American homemade versions are ludicrous in comparison, and yet... still pretty fantastic.
