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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
