π»π³ Did you know that Banh Mi translates to "bread" in Vietnamese? This is because Traditional Banh Mi used a baguette, which was introduced to the Vietnamese by the French in the early 20th century.
.
π₯ After the Vietnam War, this iconic sandwich started popping up all over the world and eventually reached our menu, where we swapped out the traditional baguette for our scratch-made Croissant. The Croissant adds a whole other dimension of flavor and texture to the Banh Mi, creating a dish truly unique to Evansville!
