Grilled Pork Banh Mi from Quick and Quality Sandwich ($5.95) [Photographs: J. There was a time back when your only options for Asian food in the Morningside Heights vicinity were a semi-decent Korean barbecue joint, pre-fab Japanese-ish sushi, or takeout Chinese joints that specialized in fried chicken. Things have improved massively since then. I decided to hop on my bike and check them out in a head-to-head sandwich-off.

He picked up a chicken and put it on top of his half-full can without noticing what he was doing. He looked for his beer, couldn’t find it and popped open another one without a second thought.
