"The bánh mì is one of the greatest takeout items in existence, but when it's filled with cumbersome hunks of grilled meat, you're bound to have some kind of mess. Not at this Vietnamese cafe in Georgetown. Their best sandwiches involve one long lemongrass-studded sausage patty—that way, the protein stays in place among the crackly bread, creamy mayo, and snips of fresh herbs. As for the tangy pickled carrot strands and countless baguette particles? Good luck if your car interior is made of fabric." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
