Quang - Minneapolis, MN

I was really sick this past weekend. Sneezing, coughing, sinuses, headache, etc... the whole nine yards. Being the type of person that doesn't handle being sick very well and having no one to take care of me there is only one thing that even remotely makes me feel better, a giant steaming bowl of Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) from one of the many fantastic soup spots on eat street. I chose Quang because it was Friday and they serve an unbelievable seabass soup on the weekends. I picked up two orders to go and went home to wallow in my own diseasedness for the next 72 hours or so. Typically it is served in a bowl the size of which you could raise a family of dolphins. There are thin rice noodles, large chunks of fish, and prawns in an artistically seasoned broth. Shredded lettuce, bean sprouts, and sliced jalapenos are served on the side to be added according to the eaters likes. Although it won't cure your sickness it will almost assuredly make you feel a bit better for a few hours. Not that I speak from experience, but it's been rumored to work great on hangovers as well...
