Snacking on Cushman Banh Mi

After feasting on Mai’s delicious Banh Mi, I was pretty pumped to try the Banh Mi sold from a Cushman.  Tragically, once I made my way over to Dolores Park, I discovered there is no veggie option (and one of the proprietors gets really testy when you start talking veggie options).  Luckily, one of my friends (thanks Josh!) does not care about our fowl friends and gave the sandwich a once over:

On first approach all looked good but soon I questioned how this was going to turnout. All the ingredients looked great but the attention to detail when constructing the sandwich came up short.  I soon noticed the awkward use of a huge knife when spreading the pate and mayo on the french baguette.  It was like making a pb&j sandwich but spreading the jelly on only part of the bread.  The sandwich had no consistency and several bites consisted of huge, overly flavorful bites of pate.  They also forgot several items such as the pickled carrots, daikon and cilantro. The upside is that the chicken was great and its always nice to have people bring food to DP.

    thanks for getting a review. i meant to remind my housemate to go out to try banhmisf, (since i wasn’t in town) but totally spaced. so i’m glad you have a review from someone who has tried one.

    i’ve gotta weigh in on this. i had the very first BanhMi to come from the Cushman, and it was waaaaay better than this guy is describing. perhaps the attention to detail was not there in this instance, but my experience was quite better.

    the sandwich was full of stuff. perhaps a bit too much, but it definitely had enough daikon, carrots, and (extra) peppers. perhaps there was a bit too much pate, but when is that ever a bad thing?

    i still feel bad for giving it an A- when asked by the proprieter, but that was only because it was $5 compared to saigon’s $3. bottom line–it tasted fantastic. and you get still get into med school with an A-
