Glorified Banh Mi??

[theking]

 ..Basically a PF Chang's version of banh mi if they were to serve Viet food. Although it cost more for less compared to a typical Viet restaurant's bahn mi, at least I tried it  :

oh hell no.  They made it worse by serving it with a side dish of chips.   

but non viets are all over this.  This is what is great about serving un authentic dish to outsiders.  They will eat it and say it is good while those who knows will laugh their azz off. 

just like how japanese are viewing americans and their sushi eating habits.

"But it’s baffling, too. Avocado in sushi? Rice outside? Stop the madness. Foreign sushi reads like a cool book that needs editing. Japan thinks the foreigners are getting it all wrong."

Yep, I still prefer the much better value (to me) at the Viet joints like Lee Sandwich for example...

Just like how I prefer Chinese food at some hole in the wall Chinese restaurants over the likes of PF Chang...

I agree with the "chips" point..
