When Good Eats closed in mid August, I practically begged (via this post) for Randall Selland to open an outpost of his successful Selland's Market Cafe in that location. What I hoped for may be closer to becoming reality, reports Allen Pierleoni in the Sac Bee.
As for further expansion of the Market-Café concept, Selland said, "We're seriously looking at the Market at Pavilions and Good Eats (spaces). We're negotiating a new lease at our (H Street) location, but let's just say it's not going very well. So there is a chance that by August of next year we'll be somewhere else. Or, if (lease negotiations) work out, there's the possibility we would open something at (the Good Eats site) and in the Pavilions, and still keep our present location."

Bahn mi, oh my: Which Vietnamese sandwich reigns supreme? - There’s a crowd that doesn’t believe in coincidence. Their view is that for whatever reason, random flashes of congruity occur now and again without purpose. Whether they’re right or predetermined trajectories inevitably do intersect is too weighty a topic for this space. But it’s still a shocker to hear a speech by Lou at Zen Sushi in Midtown about the need for a downtown Sacramento banh mi counter without him knowing that it comes in the midst of several weeks of my education-by-ingestion of the iconic Vietnamese sandwiches. So, Lou waxes poetic about the housed-in-a-baguette slices of meat, slathered mayo and pate, svelte cucumber spears and jalapeños strewn with cilantro and do chua—pickled strands of daikon and carrot—as well would anyone who has sampled the same.
