"Tucked into a strip mall on Murfreesboro Pike, Vihn-Long doles out mighty fine Vietnamese fare, but what locals best know it for is the beef and carrot stew, a hearty brick-red melange of thickly-sliced carrots, hunks of meat, and a bright smattering of crisp veg on top. Pair it with Vietnamese coffee for a warming one-two punch during cooler months." - Ashley Brantley, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
