Description

There are eight varieties of the Vietnamese sandwich called banh mi at Ba Xuyen, which moved across Sunset Park to comfortable premises with more than two tables.

    Brooklyn's Banh Mi Stars

    By Sarah DiGregorio | Tue, June 17, 2008

    Picture the first Vietnamese cook to come face to face with a simple, bland French baguette, brought by the colonial regime. What to do? First, the cook remakes the bread, blending rice flour with the wheat to create a delicate, fluffy crumb and l... More »

    Meatball Hero Worship

    By Robert Sietsema | Tue, August 19, 2003

    Ask somebody on the street, "Who invented the hero?" and chances are the respondent will credit Italian American immigrants, who modified a torpedo-shaped French loaf, freighted it with cold cuts or leftover meat-balls, crammed it in a lunch pail,... More »
