It SUCKED. The service was HORRIBLE. We were never asked for drinks so we had to hunt down the waiters that stood in the back room. We were charged for water, our hookah was broken, and when we asked for it to be fixed, were told we would be charged an extra 5 dollars. We asked for the manager and the waiter lied and said he was one, asked us if we had a problem, then walked away without us getting a word out. We found the actual manager, and after calmly explaining that the hookah was broken when we got it, she asked us to leave and never come back. We asked why and she refilled our hookah for free and gave us the waters free. WHHAAAA???
BI-polar. For real. Never going back.

if we cling to the view that the best or right way is this or that, then the excitement to experiment or explore by chefs will bee significantly extinguished.

it’s all a matter of taste. personal taste. which we all take personally. but, hopefully, not too seriously to dampen what may come in the future.

May I just point out – as much as I don’t want to sound like a picky person, that it is actually “banh mi dac biet”, not “dat biet”. “Dac biet” = special. Don’t get me wrong, I love your blog :)

Quite recently I might add.

This is the gyro – bahn mi you were telling me about. Crazy – I never thought these two sammies would merge. My brother shoulda had these at his wedding (married a Viet gal). I’m glad you sought this place out…if I ever go to St. Louis this will be my first stop. Good work Gastronomer!!!
