Loco Moco


The Hawaiian Grand Slam breakfast, except unlike a Denny's Grand Slam it doesn't taste like shit.

It's a high-cal, high-protein, high-carb, high cholesterol heaven. Two eggs how you like them and a hamburger patty over rice, smothered in brown gravy. The recipe dates from the Lincoln Grill, a Hilo restaurant, in 1949.

There are many variations, such as replacing the beef patty with sausage or a pork chop or even SPAM (Hawaii leads the nation in per capita consumption). Sometimes I feel like brown rice instead of white, but I always like my egg yolks nice and runny to mix with the gravy.

If you like a big-ass artery-clogging breakfast but for some reason don't or can't or won't eat pork, this is the way to go.
