Every Saturday, I get together with a bunch of local bloggers for Dot Com Pho. What started as a two to four person lunch has grown to as many as 15 people showing up every week. Our goal is to get to the point where we can take over the entire restaurant.
For those who don’t know, Pho is a Vietnamese rice-noodle soup dish. It is served as a bowl of white rice noodles in clear beef broth, with thin cuts of beef (steak, fatty flank, lean flank, brisket).
