Guess where I’m eating delicious pho?

In the United States, an ethnic dish has officially gained popular acceptance when it’s no longer found only in the restaurants that traditionally serve a distinctive culture’s cuisine. For example: egg rolls and fried rice, once exclusive to Chinese restaurants, can sometimes be found at American-style buffets, like the Golden Corral. Ditto spaghetti and meatballs (a staple of American restaurants, particularly steakhouses, for decades) or tacos.

The latest dish finding mass appeal is the Vietnamese pho, a hot noodle soup, usually made with chicken or beef.
