In the food desert that is New Orleans East, there exists one watering hole (which we'll call the…read moreWinn Dixie on Chef) and a few sparsely located cacti from which you can suck the pulp for sweet hydration. Oh, yes, and then there's the times where you can't figure out what to eat, and on the brink of near death you end up resorting to drinking your own piss to keep you alive - we'll call that fast food saturation. Anyways, what does this have to do with Viet My? Go back to my illustrious (or rather, corny and plagiarized from the US Department of Agriculture) metaphor with the food desert. Viet My would be like trying to hydrate yourself with the pulp of a cactus fruit in the middle of a desert: 1) It's fucking gangster. And by that, I mean bad-ass. 2) It's not as good as drinking from an oasis (Wholefoods), but it sure ain't as bad as drinking your own piss (fast food all day err'day). 3) And yes, it's enough to make your survive plus more. No, really, it is. Wanna get fucked up? No problem, Viet My stocks enough Four Loko to commit mass genocide via alcohol poisoning against stupid Washington State University students. Craving Mexican food? With the influx of Mexican and Honduran immigrants post-Katrina, Viet My has graciously stocked their shelves with everything you need to make a Mexican feast (plus, if you're unable there's a taco truck conveniently parked outside as a back-up) from pickled jalapeno slices, tortillas, to Mexican pan dolces and bolilos. Vietnamese? Given the name of the store, it's got everything short of Viet Nam itself: fish sauce, balut (hot vit lon), banh pho, the correct veggies to make the food of your ancestors, and every part of a cow imaginable. So what separates Viet My from Winn Dixie? First, there's a $20 minimum for card. Second, if you need toiletries (toilet paper, medicine, etc.) or American type produce (ice cream and shit), you're better off with Winn Dixie. Anyways, but forreal, what gives Viet My an edge on its competition in the area is the fact that it has it sells fresh made Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) and che (Vietnamese desserts) that are made in-house and to-order! Stuff like that, plus the fact that the cashier will sometimes remember me, keep me coming to Viet My more than Winn Dixie.

There's a small frozen meat market at the back, although it has less options than Minh Canh across the street. The banh mi from here is the bomb! I love their meatballs and it doesn't hurt that the owner's daughter is a friend. I agree with Marisa X that it has gotten a lot more bearable to shop here without creepoids catcalling as you walk in. The shelves at the cash wrap often have fresh homemade Vietnamese food, such as fried fish cakes or glutinous rice. Prices are very reasonable. As expected for the East, CASH ONLY.

I get extra carrots & hot sauce every time. The hot sauce is homemade with a unique flavor you just can't find anywhere else. It's not your average, wateredn down sauce this isn't gentrified Banhmi.The bread comes from Doung Phoung bakery, soft fresh & delicious. The layers of flavor, the pickled carrots, pork and meat combination, cucumber..hot sauce... The Bahnmi Lady (Mrs. Nguyen) is so generous & sweet, with that New Orleans hospitality charm that shines every time she greets you with a warm "hey babae, how many you want??" My husband & I were heartbroken when we didn't see her stand in the market for a while, but, she's still there! Just make sure you don't mistake the BanhMi place next door as hers. Her BanhMis are made inside Minh Canh Market. Call before going (504-253-9840), she stops serving at 2pm on weekends. While she's making our bahnmis (we order plenty)I end up grabbing some of my favorite foods & ingredients too. A true New Orleans gem! Authentic, local, & full of love. If you know, you know!

I needed some Asian groceries, but I didn't want to drive to Metairie or the West Bank.  Eventually…read moreit dawned on me: I was going to Dong Phuong for king cake anyway, so surely there would be a grocery with Asian supplies in the area.  Enter Minh Canh. Let me say first that this is a small store in a strip mall, so it's not going to compare to Hong Kong Market or Golden City in terms of sheer size/options.  Also, the parking lot is small and shared with other businesses, so parking can be interesting; people were inventing parking spots when I went. The store itself has an impressive variety for the size.  I was able to get my hands on things that were much cheaper than their American counterparts (Ajinomoto vs Accent), or that just don't exist in local chains (black soy sauce, shrimp sauce, etc).  There's a meat counter, fresh produce, and there was a lady shucking corn while I was there. The lady working the register spoke English, Spanish, and I think some Vietnamese.  Another employee who helped also spoke English, so there was no language barrier. The only confusing part was the prices, as in several places the price tags were faded/missing. Their sign says they're moving, so keep that in mind.

I make special trips 5 hours each way, to buy five things- andouille, smoked sausage, fresh pork sausage, frozen French bread dough, and fresh dried beans. I bring my big cooler, load up, and plan gumbos, jambalaya meals, and barbecues with fresh sausage, and red beans and sausage. I plan my visits about every six months and budget about $150. These people are the heart of Cajun culture making you feel welcome. Nothing beats Don's meats. Some of the steaks were amazing, but my focus is on the staples. Bread dough is a little extra treat. You can cut it to make 12 rolls, bake the loaf after it has thawed and risen, or my old fashioned favorite- defrost the dough, cut strips. Fry strips in oil. Drain and butter while hot. You can add syrup if you wish, but that's gilding the rose. Makes my mouth water. The service is always fast, courteous and friendly. Visiting home when I hear the Cajun accents. You won't be sorry to make the trip. Service is great! They will cut meat and tell you about the boudin and other delicacies in the store.
