They have other spam offerings, but for spam sushi, you'd have to go to another place near me. I've never tried it, but who knows, it might be good, in a salty kind of way.
Local food is stuff like plate lunch (two scoops rice, one scoop macaroni salad, and some sort of meat, chicken, or fish, often deep-fried). It's cheap, filling stuff with roots in most of the different cultures that got mixed together here. Is this by any chance an L&L Drive-In you're visiting? (I think they call it L&L Hawaiian Barbecue on the mainland.)
In Hawaii, "Hawaiian" means ethnic Hawaiian. "Local" means your roots are here and generally that you're one form or another of Asian, Pacific Islander, or mixed; white folks with sufficiently deep local roots might be referred to as "local haole," but generally not "local."
Do they make the worst food in the galaxy: spam sushi?

Spam musubi isn't bad, actually.

Yeah, you plebes, it's a spam musubi, not sushi. And loco moco is local food, not Hawaiian food. Hawaiian food is kalua pig, poi, lomi salmon, etc.

What is "local food"?

Interesting, thanks for the lesson.
(Not an L&L Drive-In.)
