Bahn mi is for bah-gettes, right? That's tradition. Well, tradition shamadition. Delicious pork, formed into a perfect patty, cooked just right, and topped with crunchy, quick-pickled cucumber and a yummy aioli dashed with spicy Sriracha… it may not be for purists, but it is for those of us that love pure flavor.
