Strange Culinary Bedfellows: Doughnuts And Pho

It’s a little early to tell, but it might be a sign of the times: the “hybrid” food trend morphing into a hybrid restaurant trend. A Fort Wayne, Ind., doughnut shop used to share space with a hot dog diner, but will now share with a Vietnamese restaurant. Mike’s Donuts and Pho Viet couldn’t be more opposite in cuisine. Doughnuts, after all, are loaded with sugar and fat. Vietnamese food – especially namesake pho soup with various vegetables – is fairly healthful eating. Also on the menu are noodle bowls, small salads, Vietnamese sandwiches, rice plates, appetizers, Vietnamese iced coffee, boba tea and more. Coming soon: beer and wine, if Pho Viet can get the appropriate licenses.
