The photo note

Last meal in the US @ #PhoKimmy in Westminster before we fly out of LAX! #orangecounty #foodography #grub #pho #noodles #vietnamese

Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

A big bowl of pho with rare beef, cilantro, whole green onion stalks and sliced onion floats in a clear, dark broth.

Last meal in the US before flying out of LAX, Roger wrote. The trip that followed became a long stretch in Tokyo, Hong Kong and China, and it began, fittingly, with a bowl of pho in Westminster.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Rare beef pho
  • Whole green onion stalks
  • A send-off bowl before LAX

Bottom line
