lol - at first I was like "premium pho".. WTF is that?!

But looking at the cuts of meat, I can see what it means now.

Usually, pho is a poor people's dish. So like many kinds of traditional "peasant food," these recipes are simply made with what's available.

Of course, once the hipsters and haute cuisine folks get a hold of it, then it has to go "premium." lol -

Still, give me a simple bowl of noodles and soup with stock made overnight.
