Vietnamese Restaurants in 2014
Bánh mì
The Vietnamese sandwich, traditionally with roast pork, pâté, marinated and fresh vegetables, and herbs on a baguette crossed further over to mainstream this year as Yum Brands Inc. opened the first location of fast-casual concept Banh Shop, specializing in the sandwich (pictured), in Dallas this fall. Which Wich offered it with pulled pork as a limited time offer and reportedly had guests clamoring to bring it back.
Independent restaurants are putting their twists on the sandwich as well, with a lobster bánh mì at Russell House Tavern in Cambridge, Mass., and even a meatless version with glazed five-spice tofu, chargrilled eggplant, pickled carrots and white cabbage, fresh jalapeños, basil, cilantro and mint at Veggie Grill.
