Okay, foodies, let’s talk about something near and dear to my food heart: the bánh mì!
All it took for me on a recent business trip to Utah to get this sandwich stuck in my head was the mere mention of it from a co-worker. I fired up Google Maps and found the closest and best-rated one near my morning run.
The Bahn Mi’s Effect On Me
This Vietnamese sandwich is a flavor explosion in every bite. A crispy baguette is stuffed with savory fillings like grilled pork, pâté, pickled veggies (carrots and daikon!), fresh cilantro, and spicy mayo. The combination of textures and tastes is just perfection. ![]()
If you happen to be in Salt Lake City, UT, you HAVE to check out the “Little Saigon” area. This neighborhood is a hub for Vietnamese culture and the incredible bánh mì! You’ll find a bunch of spots serving up this iconic sandwich, each with its own delicious twist. At Little Saigon, however, you can also find steaming bowls of pho, perfect for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Don’t miss out on their summer rolls, served with a delicious peanut dipping sauce. For a heartier option, try the cơm tấm (broken rice served with grilled meats and pickled vegetables). It’s a little slice of Vietnam right in Utah! Go get yourself one and you won’t regret it! ![]()
