Danvurians love phở soup!

Phở, a Vietnamese dish that includes flat, rice noodles, beef broth, and is often served with basil, lime, bean sprouts and peppers. With French and Chinese influences, the word phở comes from the French feu (fire), the French method of adding charred onions to broth, which separates phở from other Asian noodle soups.

In the late 1970's, as Chicano Danvurians in the inner city, we grew up enjoying the Vietnamese culture. I remember going to my friends house to eat delicious Vietnamese cuisine prepared by his mother and sister. In return I would bring my friend over to my house for taco's de lengua and menudo. But nothing could prepare a Danvurian for the love of phở! As Danvurians grew into the pubescent stages, more and more phở restaurants popped up in the surrounding Denver areas. Eventually Danvurians were introduced to the phở soup in astounding numbers. Like menudo is to us Danvur Chicanos, phở is to the Vietnamese Americans. So now that Danvurians have exposed their pallets to foods other than tex-mex and burgers, phở has become a fan favorite in todays Danvur communities.
