How do you make an already delicious Vietnamese banh mi taste even better? Toast it into a panini press! Dylan of Eat Drink & Be Merry flattened his banh mi with a panini press to create the banhmi-ni. Crispy bread and warm meaty fillings were a plus, but the warm vegetables were "bleh." Now Dylan knows to add the vegetables post-press next time.
