Travel: Banh Mi Saigon Sandwiches and Bakery in Greensboro for an Authentic Taste of Vietnam

Banh Mi Saigon Sandwiches in Greensboro - nctriangledining.com
Banh Mi Saigon Sandwiches in Greensboro – nctriangledining.com

As a huge fan of Vietnamese food, I’ve tried it all. Pho (soup), com (rice plates), bun (noodle bowls) and the signature banh mi sandwiches! A mix of Vietnamese cuisine with French flavors makes this sandwich a special treat. From the light crusty bread, pickled veggies, crisp jalapeno, savory meat along with some buh (Vietnamese mayonaisse), every bite is filled with flavors and textures. And I’ve found some good examples in the NC Triangle but have heard that there are some other REALLY good banh mi options out there in the state, in particular Greensboro. A trip to Charlotte has me passing through the area so a quick detour allows me to stop into the well-acclaimed Banh Mi Saigon!

Rolling over to the store, I find Banh Mi Saigon in a slightly dingy, run-down plaza. Now I hate to say this but that’s a good sign! A good restaurant in a not-so-great location usually means it has to excel at what it does. Inside, the space is spartan with any tables and seating pulled aside due to the pandemic. It’s about as basic as you get with some menus over the counter, a refrigerated case and display of Vietnamese baked goods on the counter.

Since I’m traveling solo, I can’t over-order so I just get four banh mi, a Banh Mi Saigon, two barbeque banh mi and one unknown sandwich since I’m not sure what I blurted out! In back, I can see them putting the sandwiches together and once complete, they are heated up in a small oven up front which is actually a key step if you’re going to eat your banh mi immediately. A quick spin in the oven toasts the sandwich up nicely while leaving the veggies still crisp and cool. Banh mi at Saigon are in the $5 range and they also offer up some other Vietnamese specialties along with boba tea. I grab my bag of sandwiches and head on home to Raleigh, one hour away

At home I unwrap my banh mi haul and inspect the sandwiches. They’re about 11″ long and the bread is light with a crispy crust. They are all nicely packed with some pickled carrots, cucumber, jalapenos and cilantro. Two of the sandwiches also have red onion slivers and they are smeared with a bit of buh (Vietnamese mayonaisse) or a red sauce. Two of the sandwiches have a Vietnamese pork roll while one has a roast pork and the final one, shredded chicken. One key differentiator for these sandwich is the just right amount of meat, they are not full of meat. Just enough meat to balance out the veggies and I’d have to say it makes for a more authentic bite.

While these banh mi may not be my personal favorite of all time, I have to believe they are more likely the real Vietnamese deal in terms of how they are made. It’s a balanced sandwich, not stuffed with tons of meat but still very tasty and worthwhile. So if you’re a fan of Vietnamese eats and driving past on I-85, it’s just a short and quick detour off the highway to enjoy these authentic Vietnamese banh mi. I’ll be back to try more and I will make sure to keep track of what I’ve ordered, bon appetit!

Best Restaurants Near NC State University – NCSU

NC State's Talley Student Center in Raleigh - NC Triangle Dining
NC State’s Talley Student Center in Raleigh – NC Triangle Dining

If your kid is going to school at NC State or you just need to find a bite near campus, choosing a good restaurant option may be a bit tricky. Like any college area, the restaurants tend to be inexpensive and not so great given the typical student budget. But there are some decent options if you know where to look. And they tend to be the newer spots in Wolfpack territory!

The primary NC State campus is loosely bound by Hillsborough Street and Western Boulevard to the north. And Gorman Street along with Pullen Road to the west and east. And then finally a newer part of campus intersected by Avent Ferry and Centennial Parkway to the south. In the NC State neighborhood you’ll find old-school favorites like Amedeos, Baja Burrito, Jade Garden, Subconscious, Sammy’s Tap and Grill, Ruckus Pizza…  But my favorites are different and run the range from Chinese to Mexican, pizza and more. Most of these better dining choices are on the north side of campus and are a bit of a ride or walk. But totally worth it if you want to get away from casual college eats! Click on the restaurant link to get the full details…

 

Best Restaurants and Dining Near NC State University – NCSU

  • David’s Dumpling and Noodle Bar (Chinese) – Tasty Chinese and Asian eats in a lovely and spacious dining room. Inexpensive and reasonably priced for lunch and dinner.
  • Gonza Tacos y Tequila (Mexican) – Fantastic interior and decor with solid Mexican eats: tacos, enchiladas, guacamole and more. A bit pricier than usual Mexican options but worthwhile.
  • NC Seafood Restaurant at the State Farmer’s Market (Seafood) – Large portions of fried and broiled NC seafood on picnic tables. Stop in after a visit to the Farmer’s market!
  • Neomonde (Lebanese) – A Raleigh classic serving up fresh Mediterranean eats ranging from salads, kabobs to pita sandwiches, casual setting.

  • Players Retreat (American) – The long-time NC State meeting spot for subs, American comfort food and an amazing whiskey selection. Sit on the patio with friends in the summer.
  • so*ca (Latin American) – An upscale, fusion Latino restaurant offering up great cocktails, small plates and desserts. A bit dress with fantastic covered patio.
  • Sushi Nine (Sushi, Thai) – A basic spot for sushi, hibachi, Thai cuisine and more. Large private lot and conveniently located near PNC Arena.
  • Tazza Kitchen (Small plates) – A more upscale restaurant serving up European oven-fired small plates and pizzas! Great for smaller groups.

And if you’re willing to travel further afoot, head on further north to Cameron Village or further east to Raleigh’s Warehouse District where you’ll find even better dining options. Bon appetit!

Travel: John’s Roast Pork in Philadelphia – A Mecca for Cheesesteaks and Roast Pork Sandwiches

John's Roast Pork in Philadelphia - nctriangledining.com
John’s Roast Pork in Philadelphia – nctriangledining.com

Over the course of many east coast trips, a true Philadelphia cheesesteak always eluded my gastronomic grasp. Philly was always along the way to my usual visits in NYC or Boston rather than a destination. And given its dense neighorhoods, I found the City of Brotherly Love tough to navigate. But over the past year or so, I’ve put in the effort to knock the classic Italian-American sandwich off my foodie list and I’m happy to say, it’s been done! I was finally able to make it over to John’s Roast Pork to try an official Philly cheesesteak and here’s what the experience was like!

First of all, why would you pick a place named “John’s Roast Pork” for your first Philly cheesesteak visit?! Why not a famous cheesesteak spot like Pat’s or Geno’s?  Or how about a local favorite like Tony Luke’s or Dallesandro’s? Well, given I was driving through the area, access off of I-95 was important and John’s Roast Pork is right off the highway in a busy retail area in S. Philadelphia. Plus John’s Roast Pork is known for making a great cheesesteak and is often on the Best of Philadelphia lists for locals. And finally, they were awarded a James Beard Foundation Award for Culinary Excellence in 2006 for their roast pork sandwich! You didn’t think I was going to travel to Philadelphia and only get ONE sandwich, did you?!

For my visit, it took about 5 minutes to find John’s Roast Pork, the area is rife with shoppers and long streets that you can get turned around on if unfamiliar. Located right next to some railroad track, John’s is located in a small brick building with blue awnings, you could easily miss it except for the crowd of folks lined up outside. At 2pm on a chilly, December afternoon, there were about 20 people inside and another 15 outside when I pulled up. But don’t worry, the line moves pretty quickly. The big hold-up is on steak sandwiches, if you only wanted pork, beef or meatballs, they would short-cut you inside to the counter. Next to the small restaurant is a covered patio area where you can down your meal if you don’t take it to go. There is a basic menu out front (no prices) so you can plan your order ahead of time.

Once you step inside, there’s a double-wrapped line of people who are patiently waiting to order. Refrigerated case of drinks to the left along with some options for chips, I order my cheesesteak in that corner by the grill (give them your name). Once you’re past that spot, I ordered my roast pork sandwich at the center counter area where another two people are putting together those sandwiches. Then you pay at the end of the counter, note that there are no prices on the menu. My two large sandwiches were $20.35 all together. For my meal, I did the pizza steak with marinara and white American cheese (no cheese wiz) while for the pork you can add provolone, sharp provolone or spinach (versus the typical broccoli di rabe). While the roast pork sandwiches are assembled pretty quickly, the cheesesteaks are cooked to order and take some time.

Even though the place is packed and it’s a bit chaotic, the staff is very patient and professional and all the customers were super polite in line. There are a lot of newbies ordering here so do your best in getting an idea of what you want before hitting the counter. Up front you can see piles of steak sizzling over onions on the flat-top along with the roast pork marinating in its juices. It all looks and smells fantastico! It takes maybe 10 minutes to get my sandwiches and I’m off, quick like a bunny to the car.

Given that I ate my sandwiches on the road, I couldn’t get very good pics of the food which are nicely wrapped in foil. Both sandwiches are big, maybe 13″ long and loaded with meat. John’s uses a lovely Carangi sesame seed roll that shows off a nice crust and tender insides. It’s a great foil for the meat and a twist from the usual Amoroso roll. The steak sandwich is just that, rather than finely chopping the meat, the tender and thin slices of beef provide some chew to your sandwich. Topped with a bit of savory marinara sauce makes for a great meal.

And while the cheesesteak at John’s Roast Pork is excellent, the namesake sandwich is exquisite. Pork can be a pretty plain meat but John’s must use some rosemary, pepper, wine, black pepper and garlic in their rendition. The pork is sliced thinly but not wafer-thin, deli meat fashion and the sharp provolone is a wonderful counterpoint to the savory meat. I really wished I remembered to order the spinach but I forgot given the excitement in my first visit. There’s enough moisture in the sandwich without making it too wet. All in all it’s a great sandwich and a step up from the Dinic’s roast pork I tried last year.

When I first stopped in at John’s Roast Pork and saw the line, I nearly bailed out but I’m really glad I didn’t. While you’ll likely find a line (I had maybe a 50 minute wait), it moves quickly and the sandwiches are wonderful here! Thick, fully stuffed and delicious, you could pretty much split one for lunch and be satisfied. If I do get back to John’s Roast Pork, you bet I’m going to add the spinach to my next sandwich and do it properly. Their cheesesteak is also pretty awesome. And maybe I’ll try the meatball too! Given John’s Roast Pork has been in business 80 years, they must be doing a LOT of things right…

Travel: Tony Lukes in Philadelphia for a Classic Hoagie or Cheesesteak!

Whenever I’m traveling up north, I usually try to turn my road trip into some foodie fun. And one of my favorite spots has been Philadelphia which is conveniently located off of I-95 with tons of great food! Several years back I managed to hit up John’s Roast Pork which was stellar, despite a substantial wait. On my latest trip to NYC, it was Tony Luke’s for lunch on my way back to NC. Here’s what to expect if you drop in!

First of all, Tony Luke’s Original is SUPER convenient off the highway, sitting in the shadow of the I-95 overpass which I parked under. You can’t miss the sprawling storefront: bright red signage, red awning poles, and a big cartoon image of baby Ben Franklin. Tony Luke’s covers a broad array of hoagies and while I’m certainly excited for the cheesesteaks, I’m ordering up my fave chicken cutlet sandwich for good measure ($12 range)! It takes about 15 minutes and I’m handed over two, tightly wrapped rolls in Tony Luke’s wax paper. I hop back into my car for the ride back to Raleigh and it’s time to eat.

Since I’m on the road, I have to wait until I’m on the highway and in the clear to start my lunch. These sandwiches are hefty with quite a bit of weight and mass! I start with my Pizza Steak which is a cheesesteak with mozz and light marinara sauce (gravy). The rolls are nicely baked and slightly crusty with a soft interior. As I bite into the pizza steak, it gets messy pretty quickly! The steak is nicely grilled but not super caramelized and presented more as slices vs chopped steak. The sandwich is well constructed with cheese in every bite, yum! But the winner out of the two is the chicken cutlet in parm style. Same deal, mozzarella cheese, gravy on two hefty, fried chicken filets. It’s a mouthful and a half, very classic and pleasing in flavor. I manage a couple of bites before I put the hoagie down to save for later, after I get off the road.

While I’m a fan of Tony Luke’s, I still have to give a nod to John’s Roast Pork which is right up the road. These sandwiches were satisfying and excellent but didn’t take it to the next level quite like John’s did. But if we had anything this good in the NC Triangle, I’d be there pretty often! While the sandwich game in the Triangle is rapidly improving, it’s still hard to get this quality level of hoagie in Raleigh and Durham. (Note: PrimoHoagies a small Philly chain has recently opened in North Hills, Raleigh) And I’d have to say I preferred the chicken cutlet hoagie to Tony Luke’s classic cheesesteak. Take it for what you will as a non-native Philadelphian, buon appetito!

Now Open: Boxyard RTP in Durham

As the Triangle continues to grow and develop, the area around RTP, I-40 and Rte 147 has seen a glut of building activity. Given the upcoming Apple campus in this area it probably shouldn’t be a surprise! And one of the newest developments is Boxyard RTP: a complex built from shipping containers next to the Frontier corporate office space.

Boxyard RTP in Durham - nctriangledining.com
Boxyard RTP in Durham – nctriangledining.com

I visited a similar development in New Mexico called Green Jeans which utilizes standard shipping containers that are usually 8′ wide by 8′ high and 20′ to 40′ long. It’s a cool concept and good option to re-use these commonly, discarded containers. And while the complex officially opened in June, not all scheduled vendors are open yet and will do so over the year.

But for right now (November 2021) you can enjoy four food vendors, two drink vendors (and some retail) ranging from barbeque to baked goods, coffee, beer and sweets.

  • Lawrence BBQ (Smoked meats)
  • Lagoon Leisure Bar (Cocktails)
  • Buzzy Bakes (Bakery)
  • Beyu Caffe (Coffee)
  • Wonder Puff (Cotton Candy)
  • Fullsteam RTP (Beer, Pizza)
  • Carrburritos (Mexican)

Once you’ve gotten your eats or sweets, head on over to the covered patio to enjoy! Boxyard RTP also has a second level with more seating and a catbird view of the main hangout area. The color palette of bright reds, whites and blues are super patriotic and work well for the space.
