B’s Kitchen

After spending a few years hopping around the Austin area in a little red food trailer, B’s Kitchen eventually settled down with a permanent space on Anderson Mill Road. The meats here get tossed in a bit of sweet and savory sauce before hitting the grill, resulting in some great crispy edges on thick cuts of pork belly, pork shoulder, and chicken, but that doesn’t mean the classic cold cut version is any less deserving of your attention. There’s also a housemade chili sauce that packs a little heat and some extra roasted flavor that you’ll want to slather all over your sandwich.

Pork Belly Banh Mi

The pork belly banh mi is probably their most popular item, and with good reason. A long strip of tender, grilled meat runs down the middle of a toasted baguette, accompanied by a handful of pickled carrots and cucumbers. It’s just the right amount to balance out the richness of the pork belly.

Pork Shoulder Banh Mi

Our personal favorite, the pork shoulder banh mi is dressed the same as the pork belly, but with just a little more bite in the meat. The pork is cut into smaller, bite-sized pieces, so there’s more surface area to pick up some char from the fire.

Bun Ga Nuong

The vermicelli bowls here are another great choice, and almost enough for two full meals. Their menu only lists bun thit nuong (grilled pork) but when you order you’ll have your choice of meat. We went with the chicken—it’s juicy and savory, and tastes great over a bed of vermicelli noodles, covered in fried onions.
