"Lucy’s whole thing is brisket smoked for 14 hours, and they’re really f*cking good at it. Order the brisket phở and you’ll get thick, tender slabs of meat similar to what you’d find at a BBQ joint, with deeply herbaceous Vietnamese flavors. They give you a generous amount of meat, and the broth is so flavorful that there’s no need to dump a bunch of sauces in there. Add a couple summer rolls and a Vietnamese coffee, and you’ll be in beefy bliss. " - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano
