Tofu hoagie
The article says that "In West Philadelphia, this is known as a Tofoagie." I live in West Philadelphia, and this is not true; it's called a "tofu hoagie". (Google will back me up.) I'm editing the article accordingly. Izzycat 21:40, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Could someone give the real Vietnamese pronunciation in IPA please? Bun me, while a good pun/mnemonic, is not very informative. —Keenan Pepper 02:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Good sandwich.

I've heard that these sandwiches are very unique because of the French colonial experience in Vietnam. That is, they are essentially a fusion dish that points to the contentious history in Vietnam over the years -- I think that's a very relevant thing. Perhaps that should be discussed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.108.160.195 (talk) 06:20, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Question concerning 'See Also'
Having Lee's Sandwiches as a 'see also' link seemed categorically wrong to me, so I removed it. My change was undone with the comment: 'apparently you don't understand Wikipedia'. I went through the style guide and could only find http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout that talked about 'things that were related', which is vague enough to include Lee's Sandwiches. But, why not include anything that mentions Banh mi like 'Little Saigon', 'Pâté', 'Breakfast', etc.? Why doesn't 'hamburger' have 'see also McDonald's'? There is a paragraph about McDonald's selling an iconic hamburger and there's a list of fast-food chains dependent on hamburgers, but something similar to this was already removed from the Banh Mi page (see section entitled Availability above this). I see that 'delicatessen' that has a 'list of famous delicatessens', but these are worldwide, and are considered famous. Lee's is considered famous and the only one worth mentioning? It may seem that I'm trying to start a fight, but I am honestly curious as to why Lee's Sandwiches is in See Also; I want Wikipedia to be awesome. Did I miss something exemplary in the style guide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.81.170.196 (talk) 20:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
