"Today, I found myself at the Fairgrounds for the Viet Street Food Festival. I had my ticket and was ready to enjoy the experience. However, the thought of battling the cold, long lines, and large crowds for street food was less appealing than I initially thought. Though I craved Pho or any delicious Asian cuisine, I just couldn't bring myself to brave the festival. Instead, I made a quick decision and drove to the nearest restaurant I could find. Google pointed me to Pho Viet, so off I went. The restaurant is situated in a run-down strip mall, but I’ve learned to overlook the surrounding businesses since they don’t always reflect what’s inside."
