Best Bites: Dining out in Dallas-Fort Worth December 5
By Teresa Gubbins from PegasusNews.com
December 5th, 2008 - The Vietnamese "banh mi" sandwich is a foodie cult item, and so Lee's Sandwiches is a real find. This is the first Dallas branch of a chain that originated in San Jose and is devoted to this Vietnamese version of a sub sandwich. It's made on a French baguette, with pork usually, plus pickled vegetables, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers. When done right (and the one at B.B. Bop is a personal favorite), it has a delicious sweet-and-hot thing from the cilantro and jalapenos, plus crunch from the vegetables, that really fills the mouth.
Lee's offers banh mi sandwiches with a variety of meats including ham, pork, cured pork, and pate, as well as sandwiches made on croissants, fruit smoothies, and ice cream. The chain has more than 30 branches up and down the California coast, but also a branch in Arizona, Oklahoma City, two in Houston, and now this one at the Saigon Mall in Garland.
