Mission accomplished! I really enjoyed the spicy Bing Mi with the salty bean paste and bits of pickled/preserved vegetables. I walked over to the Courthouse Square farmers market for a more atmospheric setting and was still hungry so got some carnitas tacos from Tierra del Sol, also good. Blue Star was closed for the day when I went past about 12:30, so dessert was a Woodblock dark chocolate and sesame bar from Cacao just a few doors up from Blue Star.
Thanks again!
