LOCO MOCO
As you peer into your fridge, wondering what to make for dinner, your gaze lands on a carton of eggs and some leftovers: Easy Cauliflower “Rice,” Big-O Bacon Burgers, gravy from your Slow Cooker Chicken. Jackpot—the stars have aligned. Aloha, loco moco.
Loco moco combines hamburger patties, rice, brown gravy, and fried eggs to create a singularly rib-sticking plate of Hawaiian comfort food. Invented in the
1940
s by a Hilo restaurant owner in response to requests from famished teenage customers, loco moco can now be found at virtually every roadside joint on the islands. And with any luck, the Paleo version of this ono grind will soon grace your table, too.
