“The tuna melt used to be on the Zippy’s menu many, many years ago and we’ve brought it back for a limited time to serve those guests who loved it!” says marketing manager Jeanine Mamiya-Kalahiki. “The slightly chillier weather at this time of year makes it possible to curl up under a warm blanket with your tuna melt and tomato bisque that you brought home from Zippy’s.”
