Everytime I start to get homesick or crave home cooked meals, all I have to do is check out your blog. If only we had scratch n sniff laptops.

After reading so many of your posts on Banh Mi, I finally nailed down a Vietnamese sandwich shop here in OC that we can visit on our way home from the Farmers Market. Once I read this on Friday, I told my wife that we’re going next weekend for lunch no matter what.

Thank you for torturing me for so long. I’m looking forward to finally tasting these sandwiches, and I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to it.

I used to make a run there every week to get baguettes for M&M. We actually “ditched” Saigon Bakery baguettes now since I don’t think they make them as good as they used to (at least at the SJ branch) — too dry and crumb-bie/-bish (??). Next time you visit, you’ll have to try our new banh mi joint “L’amour de Baguette”. Leave it to the vietnamese folks to come up w/ a corny french name ;o) I just tried them this week and their bread and sandwiches were excellent!

Thnaks for this post. As I think you know I have been a bit obsessed with Banh mi over at http://www.sippitysup.com. So I am glad to have this address in my life now. Next post please find me banh mi a tiny bit closer to Hollywood so I can go there everyday! GREG

Those baguettes look sooo good! And for $2.25 a sandwich? Wish they’d open a fifth location in WeHo!
