Get Pho for Your Money

Sticky Rice did some pho sampling in Hanoi the other day. This is important information--there aren't going to be very many cold nights left before summer begins, and we're not the biggest fans of steaming bowls of soup in the summer. Then again, none of those places deliver from Hanoi to Manhattan anyway, so we're stuck drooling from afar.

Nonetheless, he comes away pretty impressed; the beef broth stock is tasty, and the strips of beef--so thin that they are cooked by the heat of the broth--are only briefly stirred, but not too rare. It's topped with chili and lime--just like the peanuts at Trader Joe's!

American soups need more raw meat cooking in the soup while you're eating it; that's the clear conclusion to be drawn here.
