    What’s at 2123 Walnut St.? I go to school in Philly.

  3. 3 Gastronomer

    Good question! It’s actually my (The Gastronomer) old apartment building. Hence, it’s The Astronomer’s favorite place to be ;-)

    HI Vern,
    This is my 1st time on your blog and read some of Vietnamese Recipe and I love it cz it’s exactly what I do at home (just try to compare). I just wonder you are not Vietnamese at all but how you have very good sources of Viet food.
    Regard, Kim
