Part of what I\u2019m calling the \u201cGolden Oldies\u201d series: photos I had posted on Instagram in bygone days that surely belong here as well, from restaurants that are still doing business, still relevant, and still worth a trip.<\/em><\/p>\n

From an April, 2017 visit to Bunker in Bushwick, Brooklyn that featured deliciously memorable homestyle Vietnamese street food.<\/p>\n

\nWe started with B\u00e1nh X\u00e8o, a crispy rice flour and turmeric cr\u00eape stuffed with heritage bacon, wild prawns, and bean sprouts, served with lettuce and herbs. The word b\u00e1nh <\/em>means cake and x\u00e8o <\/em>means sizzle, echoing the sound the batter makes when it hits the hot skillet. A classic, perfectly executed.<\/p>\n

\nB\u00fan Ch\u1ea3 H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i – Hanoi style grilled heritage pork sausage and pork belly served over b\u00fan <\/em>(rice vermicelli noodles) with Vietnamese pickles and herbs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCh\u1ea3 C\u00e1 L\u00e3 V\u1ecdng – Turmeric laced wild blue catfish with vermicelli, peanuts, dill and basil. Certainly not street food, this one is more likely to be found in restaurants; another outstanding rendition from Bunker.

\nBunker<\/a> is located at 99 Scott Ave in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
