I remember learning the history of French toast in a previous video from EpicureanRd. Button Up is making French toast at next level, everything looked great though. I love the mom-and-pop hole in the walls. Thanks for sharing, nice work guys!!
Thank you for mentioning Hilo as the original place. Though two places claim to be first, Cafe 100 or Lincoln Cafe. Lincoln has passed through several new owners now known a Koji's. Their loco deluxe has 2 patties, portages sausage, kimchee, on a bed of rice and mac salad. Cafe 100 has different meats besides their basic. Both are limiting their hours because of staff shortage. Love your vlogs and review of all the local places.
As an Asian, i am strongly agree with Young. I believe fried rice should be enjoyed in its pure form. This is especially true when it comes to loco moco. The meat in loco moco is already seasoned, and the gravy is quite salty, so combining it with fried rice would make the dish extremely salty. Additionally, fried rice has a strong flovor on its own , which might clash with loco moco and take over the taste. 😅
I guess there's a point to be made either way! It’s like trying to mix classical music with heavy metal; both are great on their own, but together? A recipe for chaos!
So, it's a culinary and botanical experience all in one? Talk about a two-for-one special! P.S. -- Sometimes it's more fun to smoke first. Then, the munchies help you appreciate the good food more. 😉
You’re right-nothing says “gourmet” like a meal that doesn’t come with a side of cardboard! We’ll keep that in mind for next time! Actually, this is a very "local" place, so it's not very fancy, but the food is very good. 😉

Button Up Cafe is actually one of our favorite hole-in-the-wall breakfasts on Oahu. Glad you enjoyed it.
So glad to see you posting again, Steve. I’d happily demolish a mountain of whipped cream too. 😂 hope you and Young are well!
We're doing great! Glad to hear from you again, too! We just got back from Austin yesterday (expect videos in about a month)
It is funny to see that Young is so sure about white rice with Locomoco. Even the lady behind you noticed your conversation 😂.
Yes, she was absolutely emphatic. Never get between a Korean Lady and her opinions about Kalbi!! 😉
im not sure you can get away with anything but white rice on a loco moco. plus kalbi and white rice. you gonna get weird looks otherwise
AWSOME LOVE AND ALOHA FROM THE BIG ISLAND...😎
Mahalo Nui Loa from the even bigger island (California) 😉
2:18 A mountain of WhippedCream , awesome 😎
Second only to a river of gravy in my book. 😀
I agree with Young. Fried rice is already mixed with meat and sauce. Best to eat entree with steam rice and mix it together to be "like a fried rice"
So you're saying we should just pretend the steamed rice is the fried rice's cooler cousin? I'm all for it!
French Toast...with Portuguese Sweet Bread...cream cheese, strawberries, whipped cream.....decadent indeed!
Who needs a regular breakfast when you can have a decadent feast like this, right?

Ah, the age-old debate of Cafe 100 vs. Lincoln. Maybe we need to go there and try both to see who does it best! C'mon, twist my arm! 😉
we were there last week...stinking awesome!
Stinking awesome? Sounds like you had a blast! Just don’t forget to take a shower after all that fun! 😄
The best breakfast in Hawaii is at seven eleven. You can even enjoy it while sitting in H1 traffic.
Well, we might disagree with you on that, but Seven Eleven is definitely the best late-night snack joint for us.
Tell her zip it!!!! Fried rice goes with everything!!!!!!
I (Steve) agree! Well, maybe not with chocolate pudding. But everything else!! 😉
I’m going to eat there because of this video!
Great choice! Just remember, if the food is too good, you might end up eating there every day! 😉

Are you from Hawaii?
@@tysons8759 Steve grew up there. Young did not.
Mahalo Nui Loa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Aloha
Naʻu ka hauʻoli! Aloha to you too! It’s always nice to spread some island vibes around here!
I go to holy smokes next door for the nice flower to smoke....best to eat then smoke.

Lol he pronounces Haw-ehee like Randy Marsh from south park
Yeah, why? Badda you? 😃
It's Hawai'i right, so aaaaahh.......what.........about $100 plus tip?
I don't think it was nearly that much. I think we paid about $43 for the two of us.
Bon appetitly delicious but better if served in real plates..not paper plates and with cutlery... Snd coffe in real cups not paper.

When your partner eats, she makes a very odd face. She looks like she’s in pain.
Hmm, maybe she is! This time, the food was painfully good! 😉
