Jason Sakran and Jeremy Spencer did so well selling bánh mì from their Street Hero tent at the Marion Square farmer’s market that they decided to launch a brick and mortar operation. Their version of the traditional Vietnamese sandwiches edged out the rest of the local competition in the City Paper’s side-by-side Battle of the Bánh Mì, and the bread — a sublime baguette made with a blend of wheat and rice flour — was the deciding factor. Bon Bánh mì keeps the offering simple: your choice of six bánh mì with fillings ranging from a fairly traditional country pâté and Vietnamese ham to the fusiony egg and Canadian bacon. You can have the same fillings wrapped in a tortilla for tacos or served over lettuce and veggies as a salad. Don’t skip a cup of refreshing black jasmine tea. It’s the perfect accompaniment to one of the light, crisp, and perfectly balanced sandwich. —Robert Moss, Dish (Winter 2013)
