Today I am going to let you in on a secret of about three years, Banh Pate Chaud from Best Baguette. Pate Chaud is a meat filled pastry. Think of the freshest crescent roll with a peppery meatball in the center.
I feel like Best Baguette (http://www.bestbaguettesandwiches.com/) is the most adequately priced sandwich shop around.
The history behind this West meets East culinary treat comes from when the French colonized Vietnam (1858–1954). During these years many French culinary techniques and ingredients were mastered by the locals and then merged with traditional local Vietnamese techniques and ingredients. A few of the foods directly introduced by the French included baguettes (French bread), pâté, coffee with cream, milk, butter, custards, and cakes.
Best Baguette has all of these foods. They make it fresh, everyday. This means you better get to one of their two locations early in the day before the sell out. If you happen to stop by and they are sold-out, just order the #6. You'll be pleased.
If you don't know, now you know.
