Subpreme - Chicken Pesto BLT

It's a been a while since Camille began running the Kailua Racquet Club kitchen and got too busy to bring her truck out.  Interesting that no one has really made an effort to take "her" space near the main State library.  Today, though, this newcomer popped up . . .
Not Really a Food Truck
Not really a food truck; more like a food trailer, Subpreme does variations on Vietnamese Banh Mi and Italian Sub sandwiches.

Today's Menu . . . 
Umami opted for the Today's Special - Chicken Pesto BLT ($8.50).  It took a while to come out, which surprised Umami because he thought it would be a cold sandwich that could be rather easily assembled.  Instead, turns out to be a nice warm sandwich, which melts the gouda to gooey perfection.
So good!
Tasty pesto aioli, bacon, lettuce, tomato, melted gouda, chicken on a Bale mini-French roll.


Needs More Bacon
Only quibble?  Needs more bacon!  (But, then, what doesn't?)  Umami will be back to try the other menu items . . . Honey Ham and Smoked Gouda . . . . mmmmmm!

Subpreme will trying Mondays near the State Library.  Regular locations are Tuesday and Thursday on Cooke Street near Imperial Plaza, Wednesday and Friday on Keeaumoku near Sorabol.

Chicken Shawrma

Elle made Chicken Shawrma and Umami reaped the benfits of a huge lunch of leftovers!  Chicken, rice, salad, naan (geographically somewhat anomalous, says Umami, but still good combo), yogurt garlic sauce spiked w sriracha.  Good stuff!  Umami wonders if there's any left in the fridge . . .
Leftovers . . . yuuummmm!
