So, I’d noticed this truck with the cute/clever name – Lil’ Grass Snack – in the parking lot of the Y but it was never open when I go to work out, there was nothing posted on it, no one in it. Finally, yesterday there was a sign up saying it was open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (That has already changed; it opens at 9:00 a.m.) Went to check it out for lunch today. Nice guy – name is Shawn – and he’s been around Maui’s f & b scene for a while – he owned Dolli’s in Kahana and Pizza Fresh in Makawao before taking off for Alaska. Now he’s back. Nice menu, too – healthful. Simple – bagels with ___ (fill in the blank), fruit salad, fresh fruit, yogurt for breakfast. Fresh fruit smoothies with no sugar, protein shakes (no sugar) and fresh-squeezed juices (right, no sugar). Lunch is sandwiches, wraps, salads. It’s simple food – anything that needs to be cooked gets prepared ahead in a certified commissary kitchen in Wailuku. He says the Pesto Chicken Wrap and Sandwich and the Oriental Chicken Salad are the big sellers – at least so far. He’s only been open for a few weeks. So, I went with the Salad – fresh, clean, all white meat mesquite chicken, VERY light dressing (he was honest about the fact that he tried to do homemade, couldn’t quite get what he wanted and found what he liked in a bottle – no shame and it tastes good). Enough for two meals and only eight bucks. And that’s the most expensive thing on the menu. No website, no facebook page, no Twitter account. (No comment.) He says he wants to see how it goes for a while. You can call his cell – 280-6234 – and order ahead and there are also order forms inside the Y. I’ll definitely go back. I LOVE that you can get Nutella on your bagel!
