So who are these brave, brave Baltimoreans who dared have America's high priestess of entertaining over on Valentine's Day?
I speak of the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. Phung Doan, with whom Martha Stewart lunched last Sunday. Stewart reports on her blog that the Doans treated her to a Vietnamese feast to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
"I was very much impressed with the traditional foods that Mrs. Doan artfully prepared, including goi cuon -- shrimp spring rolls and banh chung -- rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves and stuffed with mung beans and pork."
It's not like Stewart just happened to be in the neighborhood. She schlepped to Baltimore -- she doesn't say from where, but presumably from Connecticut, Long Island or someplace else she hangs her hat -- aboard the Acela specifically for the meal.
I'm still trying to track down the Doans. Anybody out there know them, and know if they take reservations?
