NOTES FROM THE CHEF Bánh mì is Vietnamese for bread. A classic bánh mì is a combination of meat with pickled vegetables and fresh herbs on French Baggett bread. This Cajun version uses classic French po’boy bread, catfish, seasonal Louisiana vegetables, and a spicy mayo made with Louisiana hot sauce. Catfish or Louisiana Select Shrimp work well with this recipe.
