'Pho sure

pho1.jpgSorry about the title but zaf be riddled with leftover alcohol toxins and calf-pain from last night's dance floor overenthusiasm. The only thing that comforts her is the thought of yummy yummy pho from Pho 95, the awesome Rockville noodle soup restaurant tried last week with rj3.

Oh for one kitchen sink-sized bowl of steaming beef broth, the thick slabs of meat (I tried steak, rj tried brisket) bobbing away in the mysterious soup currents. The long glassy noodles, the fresh bean sprouts, the little condiment tray with soy sauce, sweet hoysin sauce, and that awesome spicy red oil. This place really knows its stuff- everything fresh and tasty and so very very unpainfull.

Pho would be the edible equivalent of a heating pad right about now. Instead I'm downing lukewarm coffee with powdered creamer and advil.

Next time, try powdered advil.

Really? Do you just eat it or put it in water or what?

Speaking of which, can anyone tell me if the candy coating on advil is South Beach safe? May that be the wierdest question you get asked today.

Try alka seltzer morning relief
This is the cadillac of morning-after pills.

The one the FDA worries about is the needle-exchange van of morning-after pills. Useful, lifesaving and hard to talk to grandma about.

What is the deal with the numbering systems for Pho?
I've seen Pho 77 and Pho 81 I think.
What does the number mean? Is it possible to open a pho shop without a number? Would that just confuse people?

I wondered that myself - I think there's Pho 45 across from my friend's apartment.

I think the naming your pho restaurant after a number became a trend when the chain restaurant Pho 75 became popular. '75 was the year that Saigon fell. I don't know if those other numbers have any significance.

Anyway, there is a pho joint in Silver Spring called Pho Real. Their slogan is "Pho Real is real pho." From what my brother and sister tell me, the pho is real, just not real good.

I used to eat regularly at a Pho 51 in Connecticut - I believe its address was 51 South Main Street, so at least they had a good reason for it.
