Folks in the know talk about Tâm’s bánh mì with whispered reverence. It’s easy to see why. The pork has just the right amount of char, the baguette has just the right amount of chew, and the toppings are always garden fresh. Oh, and there’s those cream puffs too. They sell out daily but still seem like Austin’s best-kept secret.
