best baguette!

every time i drive through portland, i find an excuse to stop at best baguette which makes the most amazing bahn mi sandwiches EVER. bahn mi is a vietnamese sandwich which consists of a french baguette, meat of some sort, pickled carrots and daikon, jalapenos, cucumber and cilantro.

now, the white kids at work order the grilled pork or chicken usually but my personal favorite is the 'ham.' i have 'ham' in quotation marks because it's not like black forest ham...it's some vietnamese type ham...i don't know what exactly it is--and i'm ok with that! usually on the 'ham' sandwiches, you also get paté on it!!! in my opinion, the paté completes the sandwich.

when i'm in seattle i hit up saigon deli (sketchy hole in the wall near 12th and jackson-ish) but the bread there just doesn't compare to best baguette's! there are two locations in portland so hit one up the next time you're there!
