It is with a deeply held shame that I write this post... I allowed my euro-centric mindset to keep me from allowing the possibility of something different. I was so convinced that the Earl of Sandwich's concoction could ONLY be applied to American and European cuisine that when I saw the sign for b10 Vietnamese Cafe (on Westheimer) which advertised soups AND sandwiches, I admit to have been taken aback. A Vietnamese sandwich?
Now, I will readily admit that I consider myself to be quite the sandwich connoisseur. To my rather simplistic way, there are few things that can satisfy my appetite like a sandwich. So I happily charged into the b10 Cafe to make a discovery. What I found there was absolutely wonderful. The b10 does have the more readily associated Vietnamese soups and rice spring rolls (I got a shrimp roll with a wonderful peanut sauce), but I was tickled to find that they offered beef, chicken and pork sandwiches.
I thoroughly enjoyed my beef sandwich. The beef strips were prepared with what I always considered more traditional Vietnamese garnish and seasonings and it was delightful. I will be going back. I picked up the "to-go menu".
