Blog 23: 03/11/2023: Food in L.A.
Hi! In the interim, I thought I’d show off some of the amazing meals I had in Los Angeles! I’m especially fond of Banh Mi, a classic take on Vietnamese sandwiches with a bit of French influence.
I had Banh Mi twice during my stay in Los Angeles, once at 2479 E Florence Ave in Huntington Park at the Los Angeles Banh Mi Company, and once at It’s Pho on 1821 N. Cahuenga Avenue
Please bear in mind, these are the highlights. Enjoy! Please check these places out if you’re in L.A.
