HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The loco moco is one of the most iconic comfort foods in Hawaii. A loco moco in its purest form consists of white rice topped with a hamburger, a fried egg, and brown gravy. However, the traditional dish has spawned many variations since. The least-disputed story of the creation of the loco moco follows a group of Hilo teenagers, who called themselves the ‘Lincoln Wreckers' during the late 1940s, looking for a cheap and filling lunch. The Wrecker boys asked the owner of one of their hangouts, the long-gone but never forgotten Lincoln Grill , to put steamed rice into a saimin bowl, top it with a hamburger patty, and tons of brown gravy.
