Pho in Fort Wayne, Indiana? Believe it!
Recently a friend cancelled a lunch date with me at the last minute, and being at loose ends I decided to head south to check out the Saigon restaurant.
In my last job I travelled frequently (continuously, it seemed) to Calgary, Alberta. Despite a reputation as a provincial cow town in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, Calgary has a noodle shop on practically every corner. Delicious pho is to had all over town at prices that made me smile, being on per diem.
So I had put the Saigon on my places to visit when I’d get the chance. I could never talk anyone into going with me. Some were afraid of anything they hadn’t eaten before at a national chain, others feared ‘crossing the tracks’ to the south side of Fort Wayne, which everyone knows is riddled with crack houses and gangs and you will be shot in a drive-by shooting if you venture south of Jefferson Blvd.
The timid are missing some of the best food to be had in Fort Wayne for 5 bucks.
