Mmm. Tacos. Banh Mi tacos. I have discussed my love for Banh Mi before (yes, the plural of Banh Mi is "Banh Mi" - Google teaches me things) when I made this sandwich several months ago. Aaaaand this love is still going strong today. Some may even call it true love. Banh Mi just have the most scrumptious combination of flavors.

For the first five minutes of the episode, it shows Nick eating dumplings from a Chinese restaurant down the street, and Coach keeps asking him "Do you want to be a do-er or a dumplinger??". We were laying there watching this episode and craving ...
