Good Girl Dinette’s New Vietnamese Stand Pops Up at Hollywood’s Farmers’ Market

Good Girl Dinette’s chef Diep Tran at Hollywood Farmers’ Market

Inspired by recent travels to Vietnam and sampling doner banh mi street vendors, former Good Girl Dinette chef/owner Diep Tran will pop-up at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market for her summer series, Good Girl Dinette x Red Boat Fish Sauce. The weekly Hollywood market seems like the perfect spot to prepare and serve a pork doner banh mi and Red Boat Fish Sauce citrus soda, which is best described as a carbonated lemonade with a splash of fish sauce. She’ll serve this combo on July 28, August 11, and September 15 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
