Pretrial
hearing at Dylan's
Turner
Weird
location for this joint, kind of tucked into industrial land, but pleasant
enough. A Dan Leone recommendation brought us here, and it is good. Large
servings at modest prices. My first experience with the much touted (by
Judge McC) Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong, which consists of BBQ pork, sliced
imperial rolls, chopped greens and veggies, and a spicy sauce over rice
noodles. And it rocked; as did their fried rice, imperial roll appetizers
and whatever else we had. Some soup. Not much of a soup fan. But anyway,
good and cheap. Strangely, in the bathroom there is a sign asking that
you do not put any paper in the toilet.

Lots
of food for cheap. Fast service. Interesting location, atmosphere, and
staff. Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong was tasty, better than some but not the
best. I would not hesitate to return. If you order enough food, you may
confuse them and end up with a few extra items on your table.

After
slow pints at Dylan's (once again, next to the fireplace) we strolled
over to this confoundingly located Vietnamese restaurant that Cheap Eater
Dan Leone had reviewed favorably some years ago. In fact, as we made our
way over there, we became less and less certain that the restaurant actually
existed anymore. But there it stood, jutting out at a funny angle, in
the middle of an area of town known for nothing in particular except buildings
of no particular purpose. Once we were in, we all enjoyed the Spicy Beef
Noodle Soup (recommended by Leone), about 100 imperial rolls, and a few
other items. Mounds of food for only tiny stacks of dough. And to top
it off, as we walked out, the proprietors kindly pointed out the lunar
eclipse.
