A Philly twist on a Vietnamese specialty dish
The banh mi — aka the “Vietnamese hoagie” — has long been popular at Vietnamese cafes and delis. But today, we’re seeing the sandwich pop up on menus at gastropubs and higher end restaurants. While some might lament non-traditional takes on the banh mi, we find it’s hard to be provincial about a French-inspired Vietnamese sandwich that in Philadelphia is often served on a Sarcone’s Italian roll.
