CubanoCubano, a Whatcom County food truck featuring an array of Cuban sandwiches, bowls and side dishes, makes its debut on Thursday, May 12 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Overflow Taps, 106 Fifth St. in downtown Lynden.
The food truck’s signature item is a Cubano sandwich, made with slow-roasted pork shoulder, cured ham, Swiss cheese, yellow mustard and dill pickles, served on pressed Cuban bread.
“Our bread is sourced from a century-old bakery in Miami, Florida that focuses on Cuban bread and baked goods,” said Sean Beanblossom, owner and chef of CubanoCubano. “We are focused on creating the ultimate Cuban experience and being as fresh and authentic as possible!”
Beanblossom, a Lynden native, returned to Whatcom County after serving as executive chef for the launch of Brannon’s Brewery in Portland, Oregon. He earned a culinary arts degree from Edmonds Community College.
Side dishes include Cuban black beans (black beans soaked overnight and cooked with a Cuban sofrito), Cubano slaw and Cuban rice. CubanoCubano also offers gluten-free bowls served with all three side dishes and a choice of meat: Lechon Asado, a slow-roasted pork shoulder with a citrus-garlic marinade; and Picadillo, a ground-beef hash cooked with Spanish olives, cherry tomatoes, golden raisins and spices.
After this week, CubanoCubano will be stationed from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Thursdays at McEvoy Oil Co., 4040 Irongate, Bellingham; from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Fridays at Splash ‘n’ Dash Car Wash, 1850 Front St., Lynden; and at Overflow Taps from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. The food truck will also be at special events and festivals this summer, including the Hamster Crawl on May 21 in Bellingham, the May 28 grand opening of Stones Throw Brewery in Fairhaven, and the Commercial Street Night Market in Bellingham on June 3.
