This play was inspired by two Internet dust-ups around food. The first was when chef Tyler Akin cut a video for Bon Appetit titled "PSA: This is How You Should Be Eating Pho." That you can't find the video anymore speaks for itself. The second incident was when Dan Pashman of The Sporkful suggested you could improve bibimbap using a bundt pan. So I followed the rabbit hole down a discussion of food culture.

To those of you who would like to point out that Bánh mì sandwiches might be a more apt subject due to the obviousness of the baguette, rest assured I started with that but made the shift after consulting my Vietnamese sources.
