Best is the bakery, middle is BaLe, worst is the one next to the bakery (although none are bad)!<br /><br />Thanks for the very informative post.danpomerantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977574342356644733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-50118900100696543532009-08-17T10:27:35.386-04:002009-08-17T10:27:35.386-04:00Andrea Busse: Hello!

Friends had told me about Au Petit, but the 2 times I tried to get a sandwich, they had run out of bread by early afternoon. Before my last visit to Vancouver I scoured the Western Canada board of chow.com and also read egullet for popular banh mi locations, the same names kept coming up so those became the roundup contenders. And I would love to do a Vancouver ramen or pho round-up one day :)Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-53399874313750666382009-08-15T15:09:02.042-04:002009-08-15T15:09:02.042-04:00We did our own banh mi showdown in 2006, and came ...We did our own banh mi showdown in 2006, and came up with the same winner! Not sure where you got your list from, but we sampled sandwiches from the same places too (minus the Richmond one)! <br /><br />http://foodists.ca/2006/05/10/the-best-vietnamese-sandwich-in-vancouver.html<br /><br />Next time you are in Vancouver, we'll mess you up with a ramen showdown.

Great to see that Foodosophy is back! <br /><br />Teanna: I LOVE Jem (I even own a couple of the animated episodes!) And welcome home Teanna! Can't wait for you to try banh mi.

I can't wait to try it, thanks so much for the recommendation :) <br /><br />5 Star Foodie: That afternoon was pretty hilarious - I just remember watching my friends and Kris taste their sandwiches - everyone had their 'serious' judging faces on, LOL! I hope you get to try banh mi!<br /><br />Heavenly Housewife: My friend Joyce assigned cartoon/puppet alter-egos to everyone except for me (as the blog author, I got to choose my own fictional character and of course it had to be JEM!) Hubby Kris was not too pleased about being 'Count von Count' LOL! And the long necked carb-loving lovely in the photo is named Sophie :) <br /><br />Jenn: Another Jem fan - woohoo! Have fun on your 'investigation'! <br /><br />Kenny: Au Petit Cafe was my personal favorite because the meatball was really good/moist! It was a little more 'gourmet' than all the rest. And I bet the banh mi in HK are stellar (please report back on your findings!)<br /><br />Daily Spud: Saigon Sandwich is definitely on my SF hit list! Love your post on the banh mi baked potato (I started drooling when you mentioned a possible banh mi chip butty!)<br /><br />Jackie: Yes, that Kingsway Deli sandwich was seriously stacked - pity it didn't have more flavor!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-54622847268456399772009-08-08T14:29:35.751-04:002009-08-08T14:29:35.751-04:00Love, love bánh mì sandwich.
