The Virtue of Teriyaki BBQ Sauce and Mayonnaise

Umami revisited Aloha Island Grill on a whim today.  Basically, he was too lazy to walk much further.  You'd be the same if you had stumpy legs and wore a weird purple helmet.

Plus, the Spicy BBQ Chicken Plate was really good and a good value and so plan became to try the BBQ Chicken Sandwich.  Good plan!

Chicken was perfectly done (wonder if they brine it?) and came dressed with  lettuce, onion, and . . . mayo!  (no tomato = no loss).  There's something about the combination of BBQ sauce and mayonnaise that's perfect on a sandwich.  People talk about savory/sweet all the time, but, c'mon, what's more a more fundamental flavor winner than salt and fat???  You know it's true.  Oh, sandwich came with fries (more salt!).  No cheese fries though.  Maybe have to get some chili-cheese fries this weekend to make up for it!  At $6, a nice lunch for a nice price.
