Two Blokes, a Dog, and a Delicious Banh Mi Obsession.
Welcome, intrepid flavour adventurer, to FindMeBanhMi.com – the digital testament to a friendship forged in crusty bread and a shared, borderline-unhealthy obsession with Vietnam’s most glorious sandwich. Meet Dave and Paul, two ordinary blokes from Perth (you know, the undisputed centre of the universe, naturally). These two mates are fitness-focused, and obsessed with the crispy, crunchy, coriander-loaded magic that is banh mi.
Now, let’s clear one thing up, these guys aren’t your typical foodies. You won’t catch them taking photos of their lattes with vintage cameras or arguing about the optimal angle of a sourdough crumb. No, Dave and Paul are built different. They lift heavy so they can eat heavy. Their motto? “Work hard, train hard, banh mi harder.”
Dave, hype man, part-time CrossFit philosopher, first discovered the power of banh mi after a chance encounter with a suspiciously perfect roll in suburban Perth. It was crunchy, spicy, porky enlightenment. Since then, he’s made it his mission to seek out the best Vietnamese baguettes across the state, often accompanied by his fluffy sidekick, Bau the dog. Bau doesn’t eat banh mi (because dog guts), but she definitely helps sniff out the good spots.
Paul, the other half of this toasted roll-fuelled operation, is the calm yin to Dave’s chilli-flecked yang. A strategist by day and a banh mi bloodhound by night, Paul brings the logic, the spreadsheets, and the sauce (both metaphorically and occasionally literally). If there’s a hidden gem banh mi joint in a 50km radius, Paul’s got it mapped, rated, and ready to go.
And thus, FindMeBanhMi.com was born.
This isn’t just a directory. It’s a lifestyle. A game. A rolling adventure wrapped in crispy bread and pickled veg. Whether it’s lemongrass chicken in Leederville or mystery meat magic in Morley, Dave and Paul are out there every week, chewing through Western Australia’s finest (and sometimes weirdest) banh mi, so you don’t have to.
So, why are they doing all this? Because they don’t like banh mi. They love it.
Stick around, explore the site, find the best banh mi near you, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find your new favourite lunch spot. Just don’t get between Dave and the last pork roll. You’ve been warned.
