Profile

Dung Trinh isn’t jumping on the bánh mì bandwagon. He started working on his two-pronged Vietnamese restaurant in 2007, as the bánh mì universe exploded around him. By the end of May 2009, he’ll unveil Bánh Mì 172, a narrow alcove dispensing classic versions of the suddenly ubiquitous sandwich, from meatball to BBQ pork. Trinh, a Vietnamese native who grew up in Bay Ridge, worked front of the house at Indochine and La Esquina before going to cooking school, and in the near future, he and his partners will launch An Nhau, an adjacent dining room, bar, and garden. He plans to focus on family recipes, including those of an aunt who owns Houston, Texas’s Alpha Bakery, renowned for both its bánh mì and the baguettes they’re served on.
