Disappointing that there was not a single picture in the post. And, wow, it’s long!

He did speak a little distainfully of taking pictures of your pho or having your phone handy while eating.
I think the lack of pictures emphasizes focusing in the moment and enjoying the experience and then remembering it fondly later.

Cheekily, might not the "purist" want a "pot-au-feu" ? (i have a sincere dislike of purity talk, especially in cookery)
The article mentions it, but doesn't disprove it.

I was just in Hanoi. I stool in line for pho at "michelin rated" shops and had it in tiny stalls manned by a grandma or old couple. always go for the grandma..the michelin ones seem more dilute and cost more. For example, Pho 10 Ly Quoc Su vs. the stall right next to it.
