The only difference between Nick and Lucas in terms of presentation is one comes off as a know-it-all, the other humbly tries to share his knowledge with everyone.

+redRAID3R I hope Bourdain is the Lucas analogy. Because Bourdain would be welcome anywhere he goes because he knows how to be a guest. A good and gracious guest any place he visits. He also has earned the right to voice himself in any manner now.

The Loco Moco was invented in Hilo at the local Dairy Queen. Karen's Kitchen in Kakaako is the sister of the inventor of the Loco Moco. The original Loco Moco's gravy was beef stew, not brown gravy.

Origin of loco mock is questionable. Some say it started at Cafe 100 in Hilo, others say it was at a small restaurant in Hilo.
They made the Hawaiian episodes, and went to all the true local flavor spots, great job guys!

Was your fixer one of the chefs from The Pig and the Lady? Looks like one of the chefs connected to The Pig and the Lady was eating there when you guys were shooting.
I used to stop at Ethel's Grill in the morning on my way to work. They have some mean grinds. The miso saimin for breakfast after a hard night of drinking was the cure. Ever since the Internet and all these food sites started show casing all these hole in the wall places, they've gotten crazy busy. Back in the day only the blue collar workers used to come here. Now days you see all these office type people here. Miss the old days. 👍
Tidbit! Local identity in Hawaii is very unique in it's own right. When you divulge into what "local" means in Hawaii, you start you understand that being "Local" is not necessarily being of Hawaiian ancestry aka 'Kanaka Maoli', but a amalgamation of cultures and ethnicities that have shared common words, mannerisms, habits and foods for generations on the Islands of Hawaii. Although being 'local' is relative to one's own understanding of community, not recognizing where one is from is where they are 'localized' in, but being Local in Hawaii brings something much more than just surface level 'food'. It's comparable to what "cajun", "creole" have formed into within the United States. Not necessarily 'fusion' because that term lives only within the realm of culinary. Being Local is a culture, way of life in a sense. Hard to explain, but once lived and understood, you can only then appreciate it's heartfelt appeal.

Well put! We learned a lot while shooting in Hawaii. We actually covered quite a bit about "Hawaii Local" identity in our show, Cooking in America, with Sheldon Simeon. kzread.info/head/PLUeEVLHfB5-QDnrM7U_DmP31k8L_2cB2k

The shirt Lucas is wearing is lit!
Lucas is the best! Great story about loco moco. Thanks for another wonderfully done episode.

Finally a new episode! Lucas, you and your team are the best. Love your vids
Remarkable commitment. Really enjoy these videos.

Thanks so much for the loco moco video Lucas YOURE AQESOME,!!!
Man all the videos on this channel feel so professionally made. I feel like this is Food Network #2
Hey Lucas, great video!
I finally found out why Lucas' face was so familiar. That weird Mythbusters parody from a few years ago! You're great as both a scientist and as a host on Eater, Lucas.
yay!!!lucas is back again
I am going to eat my way through Oahu via Lucas recommendations. Thank you
Bourdain signature and pictureon the wall. I approve. And I miss him so much.
One of my favorite hole in the wall when I lived on Oahu ..... her mom always served me lol
The Garlic Ahi plate is my favorite from ethel's, hands down my favorite place to go when i get the chance.
That turkey tail looks so good!
I need this food!!
Wow I'm actually kinda early! Love ya Lucas!
Chehoooooo great vid bro
You must go to Punalu'u bake shop in Naalehu, Big Island
Wow I wanna book my flight to Hawaii this instant!
Yo Luke, can i call you luke? Lucas. Let's stick with Luke. You are an amazing knowledgeable host. Straight to the point, unbiased. I like you. You good. Keep it up. You earned eater a subscriber :)
You have the best job. Travels to eat and shoot videos
Looks so delicous. I wish that Loco Moco dish is available here in Indonesia.
Yolk go so perfect with gravy
I've decided that I will only eat food Lucas recommends. I live in the MidWest, so it'll be difficult for me to get Polynesian stuff. But, he's that good, so I will.
Damn that loco moco and turkey tail looked bomb!
I gotta stop there for that turkey tail 🤤🤤🤤
yum. loco moko
I'd never thought I'd see a Goya Champuru in the stateside
Eating loco moco from L&L as I watch- da kine grindz!
You are a great presenter, Lucas.
I miss this show and Lucas
And cuz Ethels is always a favorite.
ahhh, I got the same plates in my house!!!
Lucas, I love you and your shirt! You can wear anything (or perhaps nothing) and still look fine! That is so not fair!!!!!!

I eat my loco moco with shoyo and ketchup to mix in with the egg yolk, gravy, and rice. I love turkey tails!, probably why i have 2 stents now at age 48. 😭
omg.... turkey tails were made by mom (filipino adobo), and I make it every once in a while, or order it when I see it on a menu....
good job in westworld, Lucas!
Never heard of turkey tails! Looks quite oily but I would like to try
Lucas' shirt = Awesome
You sound like a cool guy nice to meet you I live in Florida I lived in Hawaii four years my youngest daughter was born there and my grandmother is a native Hawaiian from my mother's mother I was born in new York
Lucas you da man! Do you eat before your reviews? I want my food review game on my channel to be better but sometimes i'm so hangry I just shovel the food down and don't talk enough😂 Also most the time I have a baby strapped to my while I eat and vlog too! 🍜👀👌
tesbn tuyet v ngon thank
yuuummmm!
They sell turkey tails at a couple of the BBQ places around here. Both places call them "Turkey Butts". I was actually surprised how much meat was in his because whenever I've had one, I swear it's 100% fat.
In Indonesia we had something called Koloke which is chicken covered with bread flour and deep-fried with tomato sauce.

Yeah it's nothing more than sweet and sour chicken which you can get any and everywhere
One of the pluses of living in Hawaii
Am I the only one who notice that Lucas has always wipe his hands off with napkins in almost every single episodes of DOAD lol
Lucas repping the Cali!
Oh man hawaiin comfort food!!! Sign me up!. I want to go :(
I recommend you check out our local eatery The Banana Hut with original Hawaiian dishes I especially love their rice and pineapple gravy
Oxtail soup is Winnahz!
i was watching Maron and noticed you in an episode and was like "isnt that the guy from KZread?"
She seems so nice, how cool.
so the loco moco is kinda like a salisbury steak. that turkey tail is amazing. it's like a chicken tail but bigger. imagine a yakitori using a turkey tail yum! lol

I fucking love turkey tail. Really love it. I am always the one who cooks turkey dinners for my family's special occasions and I always rip off the tail for myself as my "cooks treat".
The Loco Moco looks really good, never had one, but I just can't get over loco moco means crazy booger in Spanish.
Is that knife drawing an Anthony Bourdain original? Signature has a big B but not sure i see an A, but thought he used to draw knives like that when he would sign at places. Of course, the pic next to it has him in it.

I actually always eat the roast chicken's tail, much fat and jelly T_T
Nice, but almost all the restaurants you go to are on O'ahu. Are there no good restaurants on the other islands?

Does Ethel’s have a cookbook?
I like like lucas
Lucas, do you eat the food again behind the scene? Or just taste it and leave it to the camera guys?
I love char siu Turkey tail omg so broke da mouth ono!
shoulda had the oxtail soup and ahi tataki also not sure if you did, but you should stop by helena's see uncle craig. Pipikaula shortribs off the chain!
and you're eating with a spoon. for sure getting the full experience.
So loco moco is the Hawaiian version of the burger with rice replacing bun as the carb.
so cute 👨
Lucas couldn't bring himself to say Maillard reaction!
Mochiko flour isn’t bread flour. It’s sweet rice flour. Unless I’m hearing this guy wrong, he said it was bread flour, which it ain’t.
Next time you get a loco moco, you should put ketchup on it. The tangy, vinegary flavor puts it all together in my opinion. That's how I always made mine
1:42 What is that song???? I remember it from Spongebob but idk what it is??
WTF YOU'RE IN WESTWORLD?! 😨😱 HOW COOL MAN!!!
Is there anything better than a soft yolk egg in a meal.
You know you hawaiian when fry chicken in one old rice pot..
Dairy Queen in Hilo. Karen's Kitchen in Kakaako is a direct descendant of the inventor of the Loco Moko.
Those turkey tails reminds me alot of Okinawan deep fried breaded pork knuckles. Okinawan cuisine is also supposed to be one of the healthiest in the world. Supposed to be.
