But of all the wonderful places to get a tasty burger on Oahu, the Food Network chose the Hukilau Cafe. In Laie. (I know this is probably really old. But for some reason I was thinking about it today! Weird?)
This is what that little box says:
A loco moco is Hawaii's take on a burger: a beef patty and fried egg on a bed of
rice, smothered in gravy. Fans of the state specialty know the gravy is
critical, which is why this loco moco is so popular. At the hidden eatery
on Oahu's North Shore, the rich, beefy stock is the best around.
I mean, nothing against the Hukilau Cafe, I'm sure it's a great place to eat. The highly opinionated people of yelp clearly like it. I'd like to try it myself, if we're ever in...the area (perhaps fishing?) YET when most people say burger, one thinks...beef patty. And a bun. I guess a loco moco is a local "version" of a burger...but it just simply is...not. a. burger. I like loco mocos! But still, I don't think it counts as that you say tomato, I say tomato(h) thing.
AND while Laie might be on the geographical north shore, its not THE North Shore.
Ha.

On a side note, I visited my grandparents on my lunch break once because I was bored and my grandpa gave me a rather amazing tasting burger. I was like, "WOW holy crap this thing is amazing." And he gave me this kinda smug look and he said one word--"Costco."
Did I write about this already? Oh well. Today is Wednesday so maybe I get to eat another burger. I'm actually looking kinda forward to it. Hahaha. :]
