"There’s a pretty extensive list of Vietnamese specialties at Tan My near 183 and Ohlen Road, and we’d put just about all of them into the top tiers of their respective categories here in Austin. But right at the top of them all is the central Vietnamese specialty, bún bò Huế, that pairs a bright and fiery orange broth with thick, chewy rice noodles, fresh herbs, a few slices of beef, and savory cubes of congealed pork blood. It’s spicy, with a strong lemongrass flavor that we think about as soon as the temperature drops below 80°—though that certainly hasn’t stopped us from ordering it in triple-digit temps. What to order: Bún bò Huế " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
