6: Houston, baby

I know I originally said this blog was going to be about Pho in LA, but I have to include my most recent experience in Texas.

When most people go to Texas they get BBQ. I, predictably, went to Texas and got Pho. Honestly… are you surprised? The place was called Pho Binh and it was located in a cute little area outside of Midtown.

This was the first meal I had that day with my friend Megan (hi Megan!!) after a night of drinking. I will stand by my affirmation that Pho is by far the best hangover food out there. I don’t get people who think scarfing down a greasy burger after a night of drinking is the best solution. I tried that once… didn’t turn out well. But there’s something about the simplicity of Pho that really helps calm a very upset stomach.

The inside of the restaurant had some adorable decor (look at those light fixtures) and they were pumping some throwback tunes on their speakers. I was quite pleased.

Inside view, I love this lighting!

As for the Pho, I ordered my regular Pho Tai. Size large. Obviously.

Now this is the part that makes me really angry because OF COURSE this had to be the best Pho I’d tasted so far and OF COURSE it had to be located in a different freaking state. The Pho gods are clearly not on my side. But it’s okay because that was the best goddamn Pho I’ve had. So thank you, Texas. For the memories, for the great company, for the hangover (sike), and most of all, for the Pho.

Delicious

Size comparison… can you guess which one’s mine? 😉

Goodbye Pho Now,
