Julia Moskin investigates the exciting evolution of the humble bánh mì in her latest article, “Building on Layers of Tradition.” I’m stoked to be included in the piece and am excited to share with New York Times readers the awesomeness that is the Vietnamese sandwich. Without further ado, explore the art of bánh mì on gas•tron•o•my.

Congrats! You were included in a really great article. Congrats!
Congrats Cathy! That is awesome =)
That was a good article! Congratulations! I’m hungry now…
Wow, WIN!
thank you for providing this fabulous listing! will try to swing by those places when i’m in those cities (only problem is getting to saigon).
Hi Cathy!
Do you remember me? I’m your mom’s and your aunt Thao’s friend and optometrist from San Diego. I just read your gastronomy blog and it’s great, just wanted to tell you.
I love to read about food and your blog is fantastic! I got your name from the new york times article today on banh mi. Just want to say hello and I hope you’re doing well.
Take care,
Co Chau
Thank you SO MUCH for this site (which, yes, I found through the Times piece). I’m taking my first trip to Vietnam (first trip to Asia, actually) in a couple of weeks and this has been terrifically insightful. Obviously your food knowledge and methods of explanation are helpful, but I’m also gleaning a lot just from reading about your experiences in Vietnam. I’m a fan.
I love A Chau!!! they have great eggrolls, too!!
congratulations. that’s solid.
Congratulations on your NYTimes debut! Now I’m craving banh mi!
Congrats on getting mentioned in the article. How exciting! And since you think the best bahn min in America is here in SD, I am definitely going to have to try it out! So far, I’ve been a bit unimpressed with the bahn min in SD, preferring the ones I’ve had in San Jose.
NYT FTW!
dang! mr. K grabbed the times today at LAX and saved me the paper. how utterly cool. Can you really get all of those different ingredients? I never noticed all those options on the menu before…
I absolutely love this entry in your blog!!! This is banh mi heaven!
Congratulations. Such a great article. Keep up the great work!
YAY! Congrats! What a great article! I think Banh Mi is our next adventure!
Cool! That’s big time!
How are things going? I miss you around the office, especially when we are called upon to write about food. I did get to go to Dalat recently with Patricia Wells, which was a cool foodie experience.
I actually kinda like the banh mi in NYC better than the ones here btw.
Dining In or Dining Out. Dear, you are definitely IN!!!

If ever you travel to the middle of the country, there is an awesome banh mi place in Oklahoma City. Awesome in that the food is great, AND it’s in this teeny triangle building with a huge milk bottle on top. Super kitschy and fabulous.

NYT! Fabulous that you got the recognition!
I love the graphics at the top. it’s the best illustration I’ve seen so far. Do you by any chance know about the very first banh mi shop in the states?
Thanks!
