I remember the exact wonderfulness of the sandwich however, and the pickled vegetables and the incredible price $2.50. There is always a line out the door of this place, and it moves very quickly so there's no question about whether to wait or not. I was also fascinated by the glass-fronted cooler with dozens of desserty looking things in wild colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1165596352170495162006-12-08T08:45:00.000-08:002006-12-08T08:45:00.000-08:00For some reason Sam's reply reminds me that you ca...For some reason Sam's reply reminds me that you can get a pretty good, cheap, Franco-Viet sandwich at a joint called BaLe on Palani Drive in Kona, HI.
