Saigon Vietnamese Sandwich, with Ray

05-07 Saigon Vietnamese Sandwich
What? Our favorite local Vietnamese sandwich shop changed hands? You would think we'd be on top of these things but Ray knew and we didn't (although Ray is always in the know). We did know they renovated the space last year but that the bánh mì (sandwiches) stayed constant. Today everything has changed! And sadly not for the better. Prices took a sharp increase to $4, the bread is different and the ingredients are sweeter than before. Change is not always good.

That looks amazing. Out here in Hawaii, we have a restaurant chain called Ba-Le, and they make some amazing Vietnamese sandwiches.

I love pork and pork sandwiches from the local Vietnamese bakeries. They're always so full of fresh and yummy ingrediants. A $3 lunch and I'm happy!

Gone are the days of the $1 Vietnamese sub (here in Toronto anyways)

wow, my friend just sent me a link to your blog because I'm into food blogs now. I'm new to the Banh Mi and I wish I read your blog before. Looks like you went the same day I went this week. Yeah, didn't like it as much as the one on Mott and Grand.
