In this episode, I’m continuing my bánh mì R&D journey in Vietnam, this time focusing on what goes inside the sandwich, from pâté and cold cuts to sauces, pickles, herbs, and all the little details that bring everything together.

I sat down with my friend Chef Bao La and a chef who specializes in bánh mì fillings to taste, compare, and better understand what actually makes a great Vietnamese bánh mì. We visit a couple of bánh mì shops in Ho Chi Minh City, break down the different components, and talk about how balance, texture, richness, acidity, and seasoning all play a role.

Hope you enjoy this one.
