"Ba Mien in New Orleans East is where you can get Vietnamese dishes you won’t find elsewhere in or around the city. Yes, phở, vermicelli, and spring rolls are on the menu. But we’re talking about things like nem nướng khánh hòa, a roll-your-own dish of grilled pork paste, fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and tropical fruits. Or, the bánh cuốn thịt nướng, which consists of steamed rice rolls stuffed with grilled pork with peanut sauce. There’s almost no better breakfast move than hanging out in their big, casual dining room with any of the above dishes and a French-dripped coffee with condensed milk." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
