best of 225 sucks


It does have a bit of an factor, but at the very least, Best of 225 creates some food discussion.

That's always a positive thing for BR.

Clearly, Bahn Mi was A LOT more of a thing than I originally thought. Just found it odd, Bahn Mi was a category, but something like Jambalaya wasn't.

My bad everyone, pitchforks down. I'll stop by a Vietnamese restaurant tonight and buy some Bahn Mi.

Are there many restaurants in BR who serve jambalaya as an entree? Perhaps it falls in the Cajun/Creole category. I never order it and can't imagine that I ever would.

Not to pile on, but Bahn Mi is easily one of the best sandwiches on planet earth.

I have been curious about blue basil in Lafayette which I believe is Vietnamese food. What kind of meat do they have in this sandwich?

The restaurant specifically, I'm not sure. They usually have grilled pork, chicken, or shredded pork on them. Grilled pork is the gat dam truth, though. And to the poster above, Banh Mi is correct. But I'm not editing that shite.

What most surprises me about this thread is that the OP is currently at 0 upvotes with 27 downvotes

I don't think I've ever seen the FDB universally agree about something like that

inb4 someone upvotes just to invalidate my post

You don't even know what it is, so shut the frick up and branch out to some other cuisines that aren't served nightly at Golden Corral.

Thit Nuong Nem Nuong - Lemongrass garlic grilled pork & Vietnamese sausage

Only about $5 at Le Bakery in Biloxi.

Great French bread - add a little soy sauce and a little chili sauce - c'est magnifique!

Banh mi's are delicious. You can get them in Houston for like 3 bucks at a hundred different places. Not sure what the banh mi market in br is like.

And for op.. Google first next time
It's the least pretentious food item

WTF is Bahn Mi, does it even exist in Baton Rouge


Banh Mi is a delicious yet cheap sandwich to eat. It shouldn't cost you no more than $5 bucks; you're crazy if you do pay more. A traditional banh mi will come on a french baguette, slathered with pate and some homemade mayo, grilled pork stuffed inside topped with some pickled carrots and daikons, a cucumber wedge, sliced onions, fresh jalapeno slices, and garnished with cilantro. As far as the mystery meats of banh mi, if you're turned off by hog head cheese, salami, sausage, or any weird food besides burgers and pizza, stop reading here. Some meat offerings of banh mi are Cha or Cha Lua (Pork Roll), Thit Nguoi (Cured pork cold cuts), Giò Thú (Headcheese), Xa Xíu (Bar-B-Que Pork), Xíu Mai (Pork MeatBalls), Bì (Shredded Pork Skin), or Gà Nuong (Grilled Chicken). There are some more other meats but above is usually the basic meat options at a banh mi shop(most of the time they will also sell other bakery items).

Don't knock on it until you've tried it.

That was kind of my thought. Until coming here, and realizing that in fact it was I who was the ignorant a-hole(not saracasm) who apparently has missed out on an entire universe of taste (also not sarcasm)
