Vietnamese baby

Eric touched on this in his blog, but there's a new pin on GR's map. Bành Mì Chè Cali is a sandwich shop on Brookhurst in Orange County's Little Saigon. Baguette sandwiches are $1.50. Sandwiches on a roll are $1.75 (buy two get one free).

There are plenty of cheap sandwich shops all over Southern California, but Cali is extra great because it is vegetarian-friendly, open 24 hours, and really good. Each time I've dropped in, we've had four people eat well for less than 10 bucks total. (Thirdspace king Edward Said would trip out on the repurposed vintage Taco Bell as well.) There's no menu or business card, but I splurged on a $1.25 coffee and the cup lists some other locations that I want to visit, including Rosemead and Toronto. I've never been to Toronto.


Since discovering the spot with Eric and crew on the way back from the J Church show in Dana Point on Sunday night, I've gone two more times. We made pit stops on the way to and from San Diego on Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't think I'll burn out since (1) it's so good and (2) it might be a while before get another fix.

My sister suggests veggie ham (number 12 on the menu).
