#spam musubi

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue will mark the sixth annual National SPAM Musubi Day on Aug. 8, with a free SPAM Musubi for each guest from noon to 4 p.m. at participating locations, the company announced. The offer is available while supplies last.

A new lunch spot has opened at The Historic Wailuku Inn, a century-old bed and breakfast in the heart of Wailuku town.

Today is the day — Aug. 8 or 8-08 for Hawaiʻi’s zip code — to celebrate National SPAM Musubi Day by getting a free one at participating L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurant.

The US Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution designating the week beginning June 12 as National Hawaiian Foods Week.

Strewn across various menus on all parts of the island, the canned, pink meat once referred to as “mystery meat” in urban folklore has become an unlikely local favorite.
