You gotta give it to Michael Bao Huynh, who wins our Multitasking Chef Award: In between overseeing Tribeca’s Mai House and two other restaurants in California, he’s found the time to open this Vietnamese noodles-and-tapas parlor in Soho. How he ended up with ex-Duran Duran member Warren Cuccurullo as a business partner at BUN (it’s pronounced “boon”) is a bit of a puzzler, but you can bet the the food here won’t be: Huynh and his wife, Thao Nguyen, were the creative duo behind the well-received Bao Noodles and Bao 111 (they’re no longer affiliated with both), and they’ll be whipping up curious-sounding bites like foie gras with “nem” of duck, their variation of traditional Vietnmese meatball street food.
