On Saturday I went to Iron Rock Raceway with Rick and Bryce to watch them race Go Karts. After over an hour of driving tiny cars around a hot track wearing thick jumpsuits, they were ready to grab a bite to eat. Since they weren’t dressed for indoor dining, we headed over to lulu b’s, a trailer serving Vietnamese food in a shaded spot between Office Depot and a hubcap store on South Lamar.

We arrived just before noon and got in line behind the eight or so people who were already waiting. The menu is simple and includes Vietnamese sandwiches (Banh Mi Thit), vermicelli bowls (Bun Thit), summer rolls (Goi Cuon), smoothies (Sinh To), Vietnamese coffee (Ca Phe), and Bubble Tea.

Vietnamese sandwiches are a rare find so that is what we all ordered. We tried grilled chicken, Chinese barbecue chicken, and Chinese barbecue pork. The sandwiches are marinated and tucked into a toasted baguette under a traditional garnish of daikon (radish), carrot, cucumber, cilantro and chili. They were delicious and were the perfect blend of the Chinese and French influences in Vietnam. The only thing we would change is the baguette — I wanted it to be toastier on the outside with more crunch.

While we were waiting for our food, I went back to the counter to order spring rolls with shrimp. I can never resist the combination of fresh rice paper, sprouts, crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs. Pair that with nuoc cham (chili, garlic, fish sauce) and peanut sauce, and I’m in heaven. These didn’t disappoint and every ingredient played a part in making my mouth happy.
