| - Bahn mi sandwiches are one of my favorite foods on the planet. When I lived in Boston, I'd go downstairs and choose from one of the many hole-in-the-wall bahn mi shops and pick up a smoky grilled meat, crispy warm bread, tangy spicy veggie mixed sandwich for about $2.
Le's isn't quite that magical, but as my friend Jen says... is the best option you can get in Charlotte.
I honestly don't suggest going after the sun goes down. I think it's kind of scary in the daytime actually. Th strip mall it's located in features several unsavory looking home-grown carwashing operations. Ignore them. Ignore the chipped, cracked asphalt. Put on your best "I'm a badass foodie" face and strut into the strip mall. Nobody should bother you.
The sandwich board features all the options, ranging from the cold cut variety or sandwich to grilled chicken and pork, etc. They're cheap (about $3, $3.50ish) and come in a long paper bag for easy transport. You'll find some folks order a dozen at a time and sometimes there's a line. It's a popular place.
The sandwich is good. It really hits the spot when the bahn mi craving hits. However...there's no juiciness, so the sandwich is a tad drier than I'm used to. However, there is plenty of veggie goodness in each sandwich, so the overall balance is good.
Check it out if you're in the area, or craving something cheap and delicious!
