Fri., March 5: Sampan launches lunch with free bánh mì

Schulson getting down

The bánh mì was undoubtedly 2009's prom queen of sandwiches. Whether stuffed with pork liver pâté or strips of marinated tofu, the Vietnamese sandwich was on the lips of hungry seekers looking for a bargain lunch (Fu Wah Mini Market's delicious < $4 version) or upmarket crunch (crispy squid bánh mì at Supper).

Chef Michael Schulson vaults into the game on Friday, March 5 when he launches lunch hours at Sampan (124 S. 13th St.) by giving away a free pork bánh mì complete with chips and a non-alcoholic drink to guests between the hours of 11:30 a.m and 5 p.m.

The regular lunch menu will also be available, including bánh mì stuffed with Berkshire pork belly, tuna or meatballs. Shrimp pad thai, ramen noodle soup, salads and chicken bim bim bop round out the selection, which is priced from $6 to $9. Lunch will run 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
