Sunny and Annie's Pho #1 Sandwich

As part of my application for a food website's editorial opening I was asked to review a sandwich I love. As per a friend and ex-boss's fervent recommendation, I tried the pho sandwich from Sunny and Annie's in the East Village and instantly knew it was worth praising and sharing. Here is my little submission, hope you enjoy!

Pho #1 at Sunny and Annie’s Deli

I am on somewhat of a budget and love to cook for myself anyway, so I don’t often go out to eat. But when I do, I strive to pack as many flavors, textures, ethnic aromas and deliciously satisfying mouthfuls into my meal as possible.

That’s why I know to get the pho sandwich at Sunny and Annie’s in the East Village. It’s got all the makings of a hearty bowl of pho seducing you as soon as you unwrap the package – fragrant basil and cilantro leaves, crunchy bean sprouts, thin slices of tender beef, sweet hoisin sauce – PLUS the essentials of any great sandwich: a soft roll, slices of juicy tomato and chunks of avocado. Really, they’ve only left out the steaming broth, too hot to handle with this spring weather anyway, and the mayo, mustard and sliced cheese that so often run the risk of turning a tasty little sammie into a lead puck. Need I mention this sandwich only costs $6.99? And on top of all that you’re guaranteed more than a few bites of sriracha-covered avocado delicious bundle, really one of life’s greatest pleasures.
