So I decided to get off my ass today and go shopping.

First Stop - My friend's family has a butcher shop in the Italian Market in South Philly. Stopped in and got:
5 lbs ground beef
3 lbs bonelss chicken breast
1 lb pepper steak
1 lb honey maple turkey bacon
---------
$23.00

Second Stop - Three blocks up is a Pho restaurant and a grocery store. My friend and I had a large Pho then I went to the store and picked up:
5 lbs rice
2 bags frozen Edamame
Banana Sauce
Soy Sauce
Chili Sauce
--------------------
$11.00


all in all, I spent $34.00 for some fresh meat and staples.

 

i guess you could call that food.

 

Pho's great.

Did you know there's a kickass Pho joint right here in Rockville in that little shopping center with the Radio Shack right next to the Flagship carwash?

what is this Pho and whats in it?

sounds good :yumyum:

 

Is it Pho 75? They have a bunch down there and like 2 up here

 

I love it there

 

Yup, that's the one.

I don't think it's actually a chain, just that all mom-n-pop Pho places usually name it "Pho xx" where xx is the year they left Vietnam. And I guess a lot of people left Vietnam in 1975.

Or maybe it is a chain...I dunno. :chuckles:

I just wish they had a pho joint or two in downtown Madison. There's one that I know of kinda near the stadium but that's way further than I feel like walking and parking over there sucks.
