    It wasn't in town.   He took a commercial flight back.  We tried calling Linda Hamilton, but she didn't answer her phone.

    And to top it off, my flight back was on Frontier. What a joke, this is their concept of a "tray table".

    I’ll bet her plane had better legroom too.

    I guess my thought is - I wouldn't consider someone whod drop a jet flight over wifi to be someone who understands rude.  Cool you got to go that way (what'd you do, power cycle the router? ;) ).  You should compare the NO Banh Mi to say San Jose/SF.

    I flew Frontier once, a year or so ago.  They still had hooman gatefolks (no kiosks) and as I approached them, they said, "Ah, here's another guy for the Exit Row", and they gave me that seat.  I was aghast, was like I'd gone back in time 20 years.  
    At my return I actually wrote them a Thank You letter, and told them I'd be using them in the future.  Got a letter back:
    Paragraph 1: "Thank you for flying with Frontier, and we're glad blablabla..."
    Paragraph 2: "Unfortunately, beginning next week we'll be charging extra for the Exit Row blablabla...  (guess their 1%er CEO needed a longer yacht that year)
    Paragraph 3: "We look forward to providing your travel blablabla..."  
     
    Sweet while it lasted.  I retire in less than 2 years and will be driving in North America, and flying military Space-A overseas from then on.  I'll have the time.

    It's hard to tow a PR-72T with a jet.

    Thanks for rebirthing this!  I missed the part about Taylor, but I did go see @nolaegghead a little later in 2018, and he broke down your search for a Bahn Mi in Nola.  I swear he didn't say anything you joining the Mile High Club on Taylor Swift's jet....

    I turned my buddy Chris, the Hollywood stunt guy on to bahn mi last weekend.  He was enlightened! 

    Scroll back through this thread to read about @DMW and Taylor Swift.

    So,  is this a legit cook?  We've talked about raiding one of your cookouts,  but July 28th is a Tuesday,  not Saturday.   My wife and i are wanting to roll up our sleeves and bring liquid provisions for a stellar cookout!!!!

    "Best Banh Mi in NC", that's quite an endorsement.

    Perhaps next time you are in Austin, we can take a tour (...to Houston, if we are really dedicated, though Austin has a good spot or two too).

    That being said, that does look pretty good (as does their menu)

    Unfortunately I have yet to have a Banh Mi.  I have heard that Elizabeth's has a really good one in Austin.  Have you tried it yet?

    You have heard correctly.  I have tried it and their game is strong.

    It's mostly about the bread.  Making it just right is an art form.

    I had a sardine banh mi last week that was awesome.
