    This might be one of the stranger comments you’ve received but here goes. I used to always watch your videos in middle school when I wasn’t allowed to cook because we didn’t have much money and they always made me happy because one day I was going to cook everything I wanted. I’m 16 and a junior in high school now and I’m in a better position. The virus messed up my entire life. My plans for college are now an I Don’t Know and the sport that was basically the only thing I lived for has been effectively cancelled. So now I’m coming back and I’m watching your videos because they make me happy and you’re the one thing I knew would remind me better times will come.

      Cafe 100 has the best variety, but the origin is a small "diner" in Honomu...it was still open in 1983 when I was growing in the area. And it was a Hilo High School football player who got the first Loco Moco for literally a pocket of coins. As for the rest of the story...i will with it. It has been a long time since I heard anyone talk about Cafe 100 or Loco Mocos. It is good to hear people talk about my home town. Mahalo.

    Yo chef! I ate this all the time while I was in school. You nailed it! This really brings back memories. Thank you chef. Also I went to school in Italy and all my Italian colleges loved this dish too! They would bring in like the best pasta dishes no lie and they would trade me for a dish of this comfort food. Sometimes I would trade and you know sometimes I would embellish! But all’s in all going to school in Italy I always ate really good!

      Recently I woke from a slumber-a mysterious presence was making a tappa-tappa at the foot of the bed! Man? Beast? Ghost? I shivered! Then a soothing voice spoke in the moonlight, "You are the peep of your sleep". Suddenly all felt right with the world and I fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of eating a soft giant marshmallow. When I woke in the morning, my pillow was vanished.

      If my dad explained it to me right, it just references that the dish was made in Hawaii but isn't traditional Polynesian food. Hence Loco (local). And Moco both means mixed and is just a rhyme with loco.
