Banh Voyage
Vietnamese Sandwiches Whirring All Around You

This just in—there are these things called food trucks. And they're
mobile. (We
know.)
And though you might've thought you didn't need another lunch spot that can speed away just as you reach for
your wallet (and make traffic even worse), there are times when an exception is called for.
And that exception just may be the
Nom Nom Truck, now doing secret stops around the city.
The reason to get excited about this one—it's slinging banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich that's having
its own resurgence of late. (So it's two trends in one.) All under five bucks, the sandwiches come in
salty-sweet
BBQ Pork or Vegetarian Tofu incarnations, and they've also got non-banh-mi options like
Lemongrass Chicken Tacos and, to polish it off, a
Vietnamese Iced Coffee.
After a kickoff party for friends last weekend, the truck is quietly rumbling around town this week, doing
unannounced stops to work out the kinks. (Stay vigilant in your watch.) But come next week, you know the
drill—follow them on
Twitter to stay
apprised of their whereabouts, and if you have to sprint out from the middle of your meeting to catch
them…so be it.
Keep on truckin'.
