Banana Blossom Bistro @ Union Market

"WASHINGTON DC DC’s best sandwich is in the far back right corner of Union Market, the largest and busiest food hall in town. Don’t get distracted by all of the people or the dozens of spots serving pizza and dumplings—instead, go straight to the Banana Blossom Bistro’s stall for the pork thit kho báhn mì. The Vietnamese sandwich is loaded with crispy vegetables and juicy pork on a flaky baguette and comes covered with a mix of maggi seasoning and mayo that meld together seamlessly. You might not be able to finish the whole thing in one sitting, but that just means you have a breakfast báhn mì to look forward to." - team infatuation, carlo mantuano

"Banana Blossom Bistro’s pork thit kho báhn mì is the best standalone meal at Union Market. The Vietnamese sandwich is loaded with crispy vegetables and succulent pork on a flaky baguette and covered with a sauce that sprinkles the perfect bite of sweetness. You might not be able to finish the whole thing in one sitting, but it’s worth every bite." - Tristiaña Hinton
