Oahu has a Molokai Hot Bread truck I understand.

I had my bi-annual eye appointment this morning so I stayed on and had lunch in the neighbourhood at an Olde Skool Diner then shopping after. Lunch started with a soup (vegetable barley I think) then a hot turkey sandwich with fries and vegetables (overcooked carrots). Rice pudding and coffee for desert ( not pictured).

A lunch counter burger is the earliest memory ( 7 or 8 yrs old) I have of food that was not Mom’s (& prob why I obsess over them) but an open face hot turkey plate is the first thing I tried on my own at 8 or 9 & it was great. Need to find a good one here.

Delicious Days is always luring me in with her novel presentations and ideas, accompanying usually really good recipes.
It wouldn’t be a Korean sandwich without an alarming amount of sugar in something savory. 
I wasn’t opposed to the sugar and think it’s one of the missing ingredients in egg salad for balance tbh, but this is a lot. Her measuring spoons are smaller than standard, so the amount is bound to be less than an actual tbsp, but I cut back reflexively just in case and still ended up adding yellow mustard for acidity and piquant balance against the sweetness. Once I got the sweetness in check, I still thought it was noticeably sweet, but between two slices of bread it was perfect. I’d definitely make again because I loved the texture (I used my immersion blender), but I’d start with maybe 1/2 tsp of sugar and add more as needed.

The lunch counter I went to was a recommendation from someone on another board I’m on. I go there mostly for nostalgia since it’s the type of place my mom used to take me as a kid.

soup season is nearly here (not quite cold enough yet), but i felt like minestrone. used the cherry tomatoes that i’m still pulling from the garden. the pasta is Rummo brand, which i highly recommend.

This may look like nothing, but it’s one of the best things I ate on the island: banana lumpia. Holy shee-ite that’s some good eats. I wonder what they’re like when they’re made fresh.
Oh, and a poke bowl that was just ok. The rice didn’t age well overnight

Canh Bầu Tôm— Vietnamese soup with opo (chayote in my case) squash and shrimp balls. A delicious, light soup to eat with some steamed rice.

Same same. I could dive into that gravy. I grew up in Buffalo and we used to get them at a chain called Perkins. Oh, nostalgia.
This is why I don’t eat FF. Abysmal excuse for a burger, even for a BK Whopper Jr. w/cheese. Tossed after two bites. #neveragain

What’s FF?
Fast food.
BK is bottom of the barrel when it comes to burger FF chains, in my opinion.

I used to prefer it over McD’s way back when road trips stateside still meant FF stops for us. The Whopper Jr. with cheese was a reliable standard for me until one day it came with brown, slimy lettuce and was thrown together with about as much care as the one pictured above. That was 15+ years ago, give or take. Ever since then we bring sammiches on the road unless stopping somewhere good & interesting en route is in the cards.
A double Whopper w/cheese I had 5 years ago - another emergency decision bc nothing was open after hours in the studio - was pretty spectacular, if too much food.
But I just avoid the entire genre when I can. Not worth the calories or the money in my book.

Burger King burgers always tasted of liquid smoke and/or charcoal.
Honestly I have eaten that kind of food so rarely I’m probably the last person to be able to make such distinctions or comparisons across FF chains. It’s all crap to me.
