chris catching soy sauce in the gravy and trumpet mushrooms on his first taste but somehow coming up with rice-based grits is one of the funniest mistakes he's made recently lol. what a cool regional dish!

@pdg14 3 ай бұрын

I haven't watched the whole video yet but I would assume he got thrown off because the rice wasn't washed which made it more clumpy than rice would usually be

I agree. But at the same time there’s still a magic to certain elements of regional dishes. Not everyone around the world knows about them. I grew up in Alaska, and this was an item you could find around on menus. Now in Montana, it’s certainly not a thing. But, this region has stuff that I can’t find anywhere else. I’d love to know the secrets each place offers but there’s still a lot of surprises everywhere!

Had loco moco a lot of my life, it's extremely easy for anyone to make it at home, basic is rice, brown gravy, hamburger, and a fried egg and you are like 90% of the way there. The mushrooms, onions, and fancy gravy adds to it but unnecessary

I have to agree with Chris-putting things like salt, mayo, onions, egg, etc is a very European thing. It gives the patty a bouncier rubbery texture. Which makes sense bc pre seasoning meat is exactly how you make sausage. I just prefer my patties to be more tender instead of sausage-y

While I find some of the missteps a little surprising because Chris Morocco was initially SO close. I also am always surprised when I see southern cooking (or even parts of culture, like the card games that are prevalent in the south compared to the rest of the US), how Hawaii is to the south. The point is, I understand why he went down the wrong path to the wrong region.

@naikanda5634 3 ай бұрын

So do I, and I'm Hawaii-born and raised. There are a lot of links/parallels/influences between the South and Hawaii. To name a few, there is the shared but not completely identical plantation past, Spanish/Mexican influence - see: paniolos and cattle ranching as well as kiho'alu (slack key guitar), the love of rice (though the origins are different), and Manifest Destiny.

@RAYLUKJR 3 ай бұрын

Once Chris realized there was a gravy, I thought he would for sure put it together that it's Loco Moco! Also, "rice grits" is an all time guess for this series.

@caesarsalad77 3 ай бұрын

Watching this I've had two thoughts. One, it's a classic case of having a gap in your regional cuisine knowledge combined with overthinking a simple preparation. Two, I'm sure it tastes great but making Loco Moco in a fancier way seems like kind of missing the point of the dish.
