The Best Thing to Come From Colonialism

Joyce and I decided to go to a little hole in the wall named La Baguette located on Reseda Blvd just north of Sheman Way. Now with a name like that you might be thinking  French bistro or bakery and you would be wrong. La Baguette is a sandwich shop that serves banh mi.

This is not from La Baguette (just to give you an idea)

Banh Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich that combines thinly sliced meat, vegetables perhaps some pate and loads of yumminess. All for the down home price of three dollars to maybe four fifty. Why anyone would go to Subway is beyond me. Yes there is one nearby, but ugh!

So back to Banh Mi. We got the number 1, which is salted pork with crisp vegetables the very nice proprietor recommended adding some Sriracha sauce and this added that little bit of heat. I ordered the number 4 which had barbecue beef. It was sweeter than the number one but just as good.

As for the owner, he was quite the talker and his wife and adorable daughter was there as well. A family run spot for a great meal. Mmmmmm.
