If you are a lover of the Vietnamese soup pho, Pho Duy is the place in Denver to go. After you order, the first plate that arrives has all the “goodies” that go in the pho—the pungent basil, the slices of spicy jalapenos, the earthy bean sprouts, the tart limes. Then the steamy bowl of thinly sliced beef and rice noodles arrive. The broth has a faintly sweet taste spiced with garlic and onions. Slowly you add the ingredients, caressing the basil, breaking it up gently, getting a whiff. The bean sprouts get gently plunged into the broth with chopsticks, the jalapenos placed strategically around, and the lime squeezed with delight, a slight mist lingering in the air. Finally, comes the spicy chili paste that gets stirred and mixed throughout. All this mixing and plunging and caressing and squeezing are the foreplay to the act of love you are about engage in while slurping down the beefy broth and vegetable-laden noodles. Pure love in the form of soup! Pho Duy love, that is!
