Trucking Delicious food in Hanalei MARTA LANE

TASTE OF KAUAI PHOTOS BY DANIEL LANE

T

rucking Delicious is a new food truck located in the grassy lot next to Hanalei Liquor Store. The focus is gourmet grilled cheese, which is enhanced by unusual and delicious flavor combinations.

Owner Chloe Sorey opened last

March, nearly two years after graduating from the Culinary Arts program at Kauai Community College.

Sorey was born and raised in Hanalei, attended Hanalei and Kapaa schools, and catered her first wedding at the age of 15.

From 16 to 19, she attended KCC while working at Bar Acuda Restaurant in Hanalei. After graduation, Sorey moved to Oahu and took more cooking classes at Kapiolani Community College.

“When Chloe was 2, my

grandmother and I set her on the kitchen floor with a vinyl tablecloth and gave her a bowl a noodles and sauce,” recalls mother Julie Sorey, who helps Chloe with her business.

“She ate it and got it all over the walls and herself. When

she was 4, we started making Greek food together.”

Those early experiences sculpted Chloe’s penchant for pairing unexpected ingredients that blend sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami (savory). That’s a lot to pack in a humble grilled

Right: Miss Piggy with a side a chili. cheese sandwich, but she pulls it off.

Each sandwich is made with chewy sourdough bread from Passion Bakery in Kapaa. In the Angry Goat ($9), tangy goat cheese is topped with salty prosciutto ham, sweet mango and spicy nioi (Hawaiian chili peppers), which she grows in her home garden. Creamy cheese and juicy mango spill from the bread’s crunchy exterior and its explosive flavor changes the grilled cheese game.

TGIT or “Thank goodness it’s Thursday have Thanksgiving

any day” ($10), features slices of antibiotic and hormone-free turkey, cranberry cream cheese, pepper jack cheese and fried onions. In a nod toward green bean casserole, Chloe makes pickled green beans and serves them on the side.

A whole ham is roasted and thickly sliced for Miss Piggy ($9). The salty ham is topped with soft, sweet dates, savory Havarti cheese and spicy arugula.

“That one is so good!” says Chloe. “It’s my favorite!”

At Trucking Delicious, vegetarian and gluten-free options

are available and soup is made fresh every day. Today, a thick ground beef, smoked sausage and four bean chili is served with raw onion, sour cream, cheddar cheese and housepickled jalapeños ($3 a cup, $5 a bowl). It’s also served on top of a hot dog loaded with cheese and pickled jalapeño.

A variety of desserts are made fresh everyday and usually includes cupcakes ($3). Today, there are two: strawberry basil and Nutella. Pies ($5 a slice) include blackberry goat cheese on a graham cracker crust and peanut butter chocolate ice cream drizzled with housemade chocolate syrup on an

Oreo crust.

The 21-year-old runs her food truck while earning a bachelor’s degree in food and beverage management through the Kapiolani Community College online program.

“I’m really proud that I am completely Hawaii educated,” says Chloe, “and I’m extremely proud to be a KCC graduate!”

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS David Rooney

‘X-Men’ another reason for mutant pride

M

atthew Vaughn and a superb cast reinvigorated the franchise with cool retro style and globe-trotting intrigue in 2011’s “X-Men: First Class.”

The series’ original director, Bryan Singer, continues that momentum in the vigorously entertaining “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” While it’s more dramatically diffuse than the reboot and lacks a definitive villain, the new film is shot through with a stirring reverence for the Marvel Comics characters and their universe. And it ups the stakes by threatening nothing less than the genocide of the mutant population, among them faces old and new.

Hardcore followers will have a geek field day dissecting the challenging pretzel logic of writer-producer Simon Kinberg’s screenplay, from a story by Jane Goldman, Kinberg and Vaughn, who had originally planned

to direct. The central premise comes from the 1981 Uncanny X-Men comic “Days of Future Past,” in which Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) uses her consciousness transference powers to go back from a dystopian future and rewrite history.

Echoes of the Holocaust have rippled throughout the series, and Singer opens with present-day scenes of a desolate, burnt-out New York, where mutants and mutant-sympathizing humans have been rounded up in internment camps.

Jumping to a similarly devastated Moscow, we watch Kitty, Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and a small band of mutants face an attack from the deadly Sentinels.

Dropped in from airborne carrier ships, these robots are designed to track and destroy the mutant gene. They resemble towering, muscular versions of the aliens from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, constructed out of

magnetic plates that allow them to change shape and adapt to whatever force is unleashed against them.

The mutants escape and regroup in the rubble of an ancient Chinese monastery with Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Storm (Halle Berry). The movie is missing an explanation of how traditional adversaries Professor X and Magneto reached a collaborative truce. But within the elastic boundaries of comic-book mythology that seems no big deal, and it’s nice to see their bromance rekindled.

Threatened with extinction, the mutant holdouts hatch a plan to return to the postVietnam Paris Peace Accord of 1973, when Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) killed Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), a U.S. military scientist developing the Sentinels program. Mystique was

captured and experimented on, with the transformative powers of her DNA tapped to perfect the Sentinels.

Wolverine’s ability to heal makes him the only one able to withstand the 40-year time jump.

Kinberg’s script milks welcome humor out of sending the least diplomatic of the X-Men back to convince the younger Professor X (James McAvoy) and Magneto

(Michael Fassbender) to join forces and stop the assassination that triggered anti-mutant hysteria.

Having Wolverine awaken on a waterbed staring at a lava lamp and listening to Roberta Flack lightens the mood at just the right moment.

Looking Christ-like with his ‘70s mop and scruffy beard, McAvoy’s Charles Xavier couldn’t be less like that of Stewart, with his steely but benevolent authority.

Disillusioned, Charles is addicted to a serum produced by Beast (Nicholas Hoult) that gives him the use of his legs but strips him of his telepathic powers. Professor X is the one character whose younger and older selves actually meet, in a scene that is among the movie’s most emotionally resonant.

There are also affecting moments when Wolverine encounters Major Bill Stryker (Josh Helman), triggering traumatic flash-forward memories of his

painful physical transformation and his love for Jean Grey.

Perhaps the film’s standout sequence features the muchdiscussed new addition of Peter Maximoff, aka Quicksilver (“American Horror Story” regular Evan Peters). The rights dispute that kept the character out of previous films has been resolved, allowing him to appear in both the “X-Men” and “Avengers” franchises, albeit without cross-referencing. His super-speed skills are conveyed by shooting at 3,000 frames per second, notably when Peter runs around the walls during a fabulously staged Pentagon break-in, whimsically accompanied by Jim Croce singing “Time in a Bottle.”With his silver shag, Pink Floyd T-shirt and mischievous sense of humor, Peter is a terrific character who breathes playfulness into the movie, and many will be sorry he doesn’t stick around longer.

Lavin shines brightly in ‘Too Much Sun’

I

f you decide to go see “Too Much Sun,” the new play by Nicky Silver, make sure you get there on time. If not, you risk missing the spectacle of a grand actress falling apart at the seams, before your very eyes.

We don’t mean Linda Lavin, of course. Lavin can do no wrong.

We mean the character that Lavin plays, an imperious thespian named Audrey Langham, who, flamboyantly costumed to play “Medea,” decides at the inopportune moment of final tech rehearsal to go nuts — rambling unhappily onstage about everything from her lines to her director

to that assistant who brought her the wrong kind of tea to her costume: “What the hell am I wearing!? Am I waiting for the Mardi Gras parade to pass?”

And then she storms off, never to return.

It’s a fabulous scene, funny and biting and sad, too. It reminds you not just how terrific Lavin is, but also how well Silver writes for this particular actress, who starred in his “The Lyons,” earning a Tony nomination as a memorably sharp-tongued Jewish mother.

Unfortunately, “Too Much Sun,” which opened Sunday night off-Broadway at the Vineyard

JOCELYN NOVECK ASSOCIATED PRESS Theater, doesn’t seem destined for the success of “The Lyons.”

This new play, which never lives up to its opening scene, is

simply too unwieldy, too lacking in either heft or coherence, to sustain our attention. And while Lavin is indeed terrific,

whenever she leaves the stage, the energy flags.

Let’s credit Silver for one thing, though: He sure knows how to write Jewish mothers.

And not the stereotypical kind who live through their children, their amazing fabulous brilliant children! No, Silver’s Jewish mothers are, refreshingly, less interested in their children’s needs — what was your name, anyway, honey? — and more on their own.

And so when Langham storms off that “Medea” stage in Chicago and makes her way to the Cape Cod home of her daughter, Kitty (an excellent Jennifer Westfeldt), it’s not

because she loves Kitty or misses her. Audrey just needs a place to stay, to recoup, to figure out her next step.

Which will probably be another marriage. Audrey, we learn, has gotten through life depending on the kindness of husbands. And so much of the play will focus on her efforts to lasso in Winston, the rich, handsome guy next door. All the while, Kitty will be wondering how long she’ll have to put up with Mom. And Kitty’s self-centered husband, Dennis, wants to know when he can get the spare room back — it’s his office, and he’s trying to write a novel.

Rounding up plants, crafts for Kokee’s future F

or the past 25 years, The Banana Poka Round-Up in Kokee has been known as the “forest education fair with a funny name.”

But unlike what its whimsical name suggests, it actually has nothing to do with yellow, tropical fruit or herding cattle or livestock. Banana Poka, as it is commonly known in Hawaii, is a fast-growing vine that originated from South America but made its way to Hawaii over time.

This invasive plant, which yields bubble-gum pink flowers and yellow, elongated fruits that somewhat resemble bananas, can quickly take over mid- to upper-elevation native forests by smothering and breaking underlying vegetation with dense mats of stems and foliage, according to the University of Hawaii at Manoa botanists.

And the plant has already begun to take its toll on Kokee’s native forests.

“Several biological subjects have been introduced to the forest to control the vine but it hasn’t worked, so it keeps coming back and keeps coming back,” Michelle Hookano said. “It’s not in the top three threats in Kokee but it’s definitely within the top 10.”

So to combat these invasive plants, Hui o Laka, the nonprofit organization that operates the Kokee Natural History Museum, has sponsored the Banana Poka Round-up every Memorial Day weekend since 1989 on Kokee’s Kanaloahuluhulu Meadow, where community volunteers teach visitors about the dangers of invasive plants and help them create craft items from Banana Poka vines.

The free event returns to the upland forest 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, where visitors, families and residents will be treated to a day of music, workshops, exhibits and family activities.

“The whole point of this round up is to teach people about the invasive species in the forest,” Michelle Hookano said. “This teaches people how they can curb the spread of invasive species by using materials from it for crafts and other things instead of just looking at them. It also gives people a chance to see what other projects we’re working on so they can hopefully come back and help out.”

The festival serves as the finish line for the fifth annual Pedal to the Meadow bicycle race, which begins at 8 a.m. in Kekaha and climbs up the canyon rim to Kokee.

The first finishers are expected at about 9 a.m. Drivers are urged to use the Waimea side road up the mountain and drive with extreme caution.

At 12:30 p.m., youngsters join “Russell da Rooster” of Storybook Theatre of Hawaii for the annual children’s parade and rooster crowing contest.

For Memorial Day, participants can make miniature floral arrangements, starting with a recycled tuna or cat food can, and using mountain foliage.

Materials are provided for all workshops, though participants are encouraged to bring their own garden clippers.

To sign up for the $20 basket workshop, which will also pay a Hui o Laka membership fee, call 335-9975, Ext. 0.
