I was disappointed that the french bread was too crunchy and meat was scarce.

My only complaint was that it was actually had a bit overstuffed–at times it was like eating a pile of pork and shrimp without barely any crispy crust.

And $4.50 for a banh mi? That would be expensive in Austin, too! But that banh xeo looks pretty killer…

Still, it was pretty good–you make due with what you can get in Alabama.

It’s also possible that it doesn’t look like a proper bowl because my photography wasn’t up to Gastronomy’s usual standards…
