Now vietnamese sub places have expanded on the choice of toppings to allow consumer choice and the more things they add to it, the farther it gets away from what I would define as a Vietnamese sub. Nothing beats the original still, IMO.
As for what I'm craving? A nice traditional Sichuan hot pot. They just don't make it the same here.

At the place I once worked at, the owner's wife was asian (and yes, quite attractive
). She used to show up with viet subs every so often. My co-worker one day asked her to keep the carrots off next time. She retorted something to the effect of 'you get what you get'.
Until I read your post, I always thought she meant that he'd better not complain about free lunch and that she wasn't taking orders like a waitress. Now, with your post in mind, I think that she probably also meant that 'you get what you get'.
