Bánh Mì Sandwich Kit - Choose Your Own 6 Pack
Take your pick from a wide variety of Dong Phuong Bakery’s legendary bánh mì sandwiches! These start with soft, crackly-crusted fresh-baked French bread, and filled with your choice of meats along with tangy garlic aioli, crisp pickled carrots & daikon, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeño!
Back in the early 1980s, Huong and De Van Tran, along with their three children, emigrated from Vietnam to New Orleans to chase the American dream. They opened Dong Phuong Bakery in 1982, and since then it’s become a cornerstone of The Big Easy’s thriving Vietnamese community and was named an “American Classic” by the James Beard Foundation in 2018. Huong’s baked goods are a thing of cultish devotion in New Orleans, including the French bread, which forms the foundation of bánh mì, the iconic Vietnamese sandwich. The bread has a crackling crust and a pillowy-soft interior, and is the perfect vehicle for the homemade meats and pickled veggies that make up this legendary sandwich.
