LA’s Musubi Madness is Slinging SPAM® SOFT SERVE SUNDAES

Posted by analiese trimber · September 12, 2019

SPAM® products are typically thought of as tasty, versatile ingredients perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes. Usually, though, dinner is where SPAM® dishes end for the day. At the Musubi Madness pop-up in Los Angeles, CA, however, they’re out to prove that the iconic canned meat can indeed stick around after the main course. This September, they’ll be serving SPAM® Soft Serve Sundaes. Yes, you heard that right — SPAM® Soft Serve Sundaes.

If the thought of SPAM® ice cream scares you, don’t let it. Sweet meats have existed for as long as people have been eating meat. This is just a different way to enjoy those same sweet and savory flavors.

Made with a special extraction from SPAM® Classic, the soft serve has a distinct, but not overwhelming, flavor.

Next, the soft serve is piled high into a waffle cone bowl. From there, it’s up to you what goes on top. You can choose between vanilla-braised pineapples, candied walnuts, furikake, teriyaki sauce, and rum caramel. Or you could live out your 9-year-old self’s fantasy and just put every topping on it. You’re already eating SPAM® ice cream, might as well go all out.

If this sounds like a treat you’d be interested in, the Musubi Madness pop-up will be running for the first three Saturdays in September on the 7th, 14th, and 21st at LONO Hollywood.

Introducing MUSUBI MADNESS: A Pop Up Serving SPAM® Classic Corn Dogs, SPAM® Soft Serve, and Customizable SPAM® Musubi

Posted by analiese trimber · September 09, 2019

The world as we know it would not be the same without the SPAM® brand. The delicious and affordable product has been beloved worldwide since providing aid to U.S. and allied troops during WWII. To this day, the SPAM® brand is deeply ingrained in cultures near and far including Hawaii, Japan and Korea. You could write a book on the iconic brand. In fact, people have. Famed for its ability to be incorporated into any dish, SPAM® products are kitchen staples. To celebrate this great-tasting, meal-time favorite, Musubi Madness, a pop-up restaurant serving all kinds of wildly tasty SPAM®-based dishes, will be up and running at LONO Hollywood in Los Angeles the first three Saturdays of September.

The pop-up will feature a Build-Your-Own-SPAM® Musubi Bar with more than 20 delicious ingredients from around the world to choose from. Once you’ve selected your ingredients, an expert chef will hand-make the musubi right in front of you. Maybe an American Burger SPAM® Musubi with American cheese, onions, lettuce, and thousand island sounds good. How about a Vietnamese-inspired musubi with daikon, carrots, and vermicelli noodles? The possibilities are endless.

The additional options on-hand at the pop-up, while not as customizable as the musubi, are equally delicious. The SPAM® Classic and Shrimp Hot Dogs are dipped in a nori batter and fried until they resemble the fair treats that we all know and love. SPAM® soft serve sundaes, topped with teriyaki caramel, furikake is a must-try for all. This is sweet and savory at its craziest.

At this point, you’re probably wondering how you’re supposed to eat all this deliciousness with no beverage to wash it down. We got you covered. Musubi Madness will be serving tropical-themed drinks. And, yes, they’re served in the iconic little blue cans.

You Can Now Get Bougie SPAM Musubis Wrapped In Edible Gold

Posted by analiese trimber · August 01, 2018

Gold-topped desserts have been pretty popular this past year, with gold-covered ice cream, apples, and chocolate all going viral. One SF food truck is getting in on the golden food trend with their own take: A $100 Gold SPAM® Musubi.

Created by the 808 Poke Shack for SPAM Restaurant Month, this fancy SPAM musubi has flecks of gold on both the inside and outside. The sushi rice is mixed with honey, rice vinegar, and gold furikake flakes, joining a caramelized slab of SPAM that’s marinated in a miso teriyaki sauce for 24 hours.

The two are then wrapped together with both nori sheets and edible gold leaf to give the musubi a unique sheen.

This is a more pricey musubi than ones you can normally buy, as one of these gold-wrapped eats will set you back $100. But hey, when else can you say that you’ve eaten a golden SPAM® musubi?

808 Poke Truck will have the $100 musubi available for the entire month of August as part of SPAM® Restaurant Month, where several other unique SPAM®-centric items will be debuting at restaurants across the nation.
