Tran was impressed that Brandon wrote in full sentences on a dating app, a rare enough achievement that she decided to give him a chance before deleting Coffee Meets Bagel altogether. Brandon had just gotten a new car after his old car gave out and was eager to show it off to someone who would be at least a little impressed. Their first date took place at Cambridge Brewery, where they analyzed about Love Is Blind, which in hindsight feels like a bold place to start. Then came Vietnamese food (Tran's subtle ultimate test) in Dorchester, which Brandon willingly drove in from outside of Boston to get the herbal duck soup (and aced along with his chopstick skills for extra points). Now the rest is magical history that brought us all here today. #BlasianVibes
