by | Jul 26, 2010 | POLITICS

Banh Mi Throwdown at Café Gutenberg
Monday, July 26
1700 E. Main Street
Doors open at 6:30pm, competition starts at 7pm

What we have here is an old west call out, this is like high noon for chefs. The clock is ticking and at 7pm in Cafe Gutenberg the showdown will begin. What we are talking about is the Banh Mi Sandwich here, a Vietnamese classic sandwich often severed on the streets from carts. The Bahn MI Sandwich smack talking ensued when Chef Patrick Harris of Boka Truck, tweeted that his Banh Mi Sandwich was the best in town. The talking continued online and before too long Jen Mindel (Cafe Gutenberg) was there to throw the gauntlet and make the challenge. So now its on!, and you can help be a deciding factor! You get free eats and get to help good causes, what else could you want? So I will see you there, and be adding my two cents as commentator for this throw-down.
