How a Vietnamese pop star opened a California sandwich shop
More from
The Splendid Table
As she toured the world, Vietnamese pop star Lynda Trang Dai sought Vietnamese food in cities she visited. "In any city I would go to, I would just check in at the hotel, throw all my luggage down, and go find a Vietnamese restaurant." Five years ago, she opened Lynda Sandwich in Orange County, California.
