Philadelphia's beloved hoagies take on a different form with the banh mi, a packed-with-flavor Vietnamese sandwich that is loaded with fresh vegetables, an infused aioli sauce and a choice of protein — most commonly a sliced meat or tofu — on top of a freshly made baguette.

The banh mi sandwich was introduced during French rule in Vietnam, so the resulting sandwich is a fusion of common items in both French and Vietnamese cooking.
