A great new Vietnamese cafe has opened in Collegetown, located at- wait for it- the end of my street (the corner of Linden and Dryden). All the ingredients are sourced locally from small, New York state farms. These people (or person, rather, since one young kid, Sebastian, owns and operates the entire business), care about what they're making and where it comes from. They are staying true to their roots and want to offer a culinary treasure to Cornell students who are too used to Collegetown's other offerings, most of which have no culinary origins or inspiration. Thanks, Sebastian.
Bánh Mi (vietnamese sandwich): French baguette with smoked ham, sausage, pate, mayo, pickled daikon, carrots, and cucumber, cilantro, and a dash of soy sauce. So fresh, so light, so yummy. [makes me want to photograph it in a garden]The inside of Xeo's modest shop, located at College & Dryden Ave. Can't wait till he has Vietnamese Iced coffee sweetened with condensed milk!....dangerous, it's on my way to class...
