How to Cook a Hawaiian Loco Moco Burger with George Motz | Burger Scholar Sessions

  • Burger Scholar George Motz is here to set the record straight: A real homegrown Hawaiian burger is NOT a beef patty topped with pineapple and ham. When locals crave a burger, they order something called the loco moco. Technically a 'burger plate,' this regional icon is a burger patty placed on a bed of rice, drenched in gravy, and topped with a fried egg. A popular late-night order at diners, the loco moco is one of George's favorite burgers to eat. And now's your chance to make one at home. Here is your master class on how to make Hawaii's own loco moco burger.

      I’d go to my hometown by Chicago and probably just get Culver’s. They are probably the restaurant with the lowest price to highest quality ratio among fast food chains, and there’s no need to be lavish with spending.

      I love the local foods in Hawaii- so many variants of other cultures of foods slammed together- for example: The Spam Musabi, which is sold in every 7-11 stores on the islands. And The Maunapau (slightly sweet Steam char sui Pork Buns). Spam’s not even Hawaiian 🌺 made- however, the locals have fine tuned using it 😛👍
