The Hawaiian Plate Lunch of My Dreams | Cookin' Somethin' w/ Matty Matheson

[@poorboy1225]

As a dude born and raised on Oahu, you got the mac salad down (even with the milk) but super important - over cook the mac. After you mix, let it sit for a few hours in the fridge, overnight even better. Also, some info for the average viewer, a fried pork chop plate lunch is SUPER rare to find on the island and not usually for casual lunch. Yeah, Side Street Inn serves fried pork chop ($30), but that's their thing as a sit-down restaurant. We don't normally associate fried pork chop with a $10 "plate lunch", styrofoam, plastic fork/chopstick, in a plastic bag, heading to the office or worksite around lunch time. Standard plate lunch mains - Korean BBQ chicken, meat jun, fish jun, garlic/fried chicken, chicken katsu, hamburger steak, roast pork and gravy, steak, kalbi, teri beef. Sure, this is Matty's dream plate lunch, but, man … Matt, get out da North Shore and hang with all da Asians and Samoans and Polynesians and locals on da Leeward, Kaneohe, Downtown side. A real Hawaiian plate lunch - wit da lau lau, lomi salmon and pipikaula. Tomato onion served on da rice? Baah, no make any kine, Matt. Nah, I joke.

I am fully convinced that no other chef will ever match Matty in enthusiasm and charisma. What a guy

[@101myutube]

Matty, so stoked to see your cruising. I have been preoccupied with stuff, then pet issues, was away for a spell. Got back to Earth and wanted to see what Matty matheson was up to, and Hawaiian plate lunch. I grew up on Oahu, so win win and then saw your more recent accomplishments. Glad I checked in, congratulations , we love you Matty.

[@xadbre]

Big dog trimmin down. Livin that good good life, swinging that Matheson cast iron between takes.

[@sculluhlakoo]

You are too fuckin cool to not have around, sorry to be morbid. I have to say, it's cool to see my dick again from above!

[@thebigwagyu]

As someone who moved to the mainland, I've missed Zippy's and their curry chicken every single day for almost two decades.

[@tonyt2968]

The best thing about these meals is getting to watch Matty eat so I never have to!

[@kc550]

Love you Matty!!

[@maxp4573]

I'm really thankful to be alive at the same Time Matty and Bourdain and Joshua and Andy ( I'm talking about Andy Cooks actually but Andrew Zimmern is just as awesome of a Dude :D ), man, I wouldn't want it any other way. Thank ya'll

[@sx1031]

rip bourdain tho, miss his things

[@sailorjupiter814]

My friend makes the Hawaiian Mac salad for me for my birthday and it is the BEST period!😂 Love you. Your videos make my family and I smile. Keep up the good work.😊

[@uberempty]

matty you are seriously the most entertaining chef of all time. no gimmick either. just pure goofy hilariousness

[@Odinoian]

That looks so chill and light-tasting! Awesome inspiration!

[@FTLNateHawk]

Anytime I want to feel what it’s like to have a fever dream I come watch him cook. It’s my favorite time of the day. ❤

[@dylanisco0l]

Matty looking slim! Keep going!! We love you brother!!

[@jeremy-psychonautlsdmtdr-k5140]

I visited a friend of mine going to college in Hawaii in 2006. The sit down plate meal thing was a nice change of pace

[@thewatchtower4949]

Eating loco moco at a Hawaiian drive-in was a highlight of my trip

[@tommanning7337]

I sooooo look forward to Mattys videos!!!!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Absolutely love them!!!!

[@oghash4912]

Thank God for Matty 💚🕊️🌎 peace and love to you all

[@OahuKanaka]

I’m from Hawaii and I’ve never seen tomatoes on rice like that in my life

[@vitaly6312]

FR. I’ve had hundreds of plate lunches. Never seen a single tomato.

[@sx1031]

Could be his take on some fried chops he had

[@robertdebroeck8291]

I could eat this plate lunch everyday! It looks delicious!

[@endershader]

Best Mac-Salad tip (courtesy of American Test Kitchen): After you remove the macaroni, add the apple-cider vinegar so while it cools. IMO, a game changer.

[@durkadann2943]

christopher kimble is the man!

[@yuppersXD]

Add the apple cider vinegar onions and carrots with the hot Mac mix it and let it cool slowly. Mix dressing together with seasonings and add that to the noodles. Pop in the fridge for a while, stir then serve. 😌 You can thank me later.

[@maybachyard]

Apple cider vinegar in mac salad? 🤢🤮

[@g3ngar04]

Seeing this makes me happy I got to go to the Marty’s Patty’s meet you did on the north shore. Was awesome getting to meet you as well 🤙

[@jessegarcia6909]

Side Street Inn, my favorite place to eat here in Hawaii. The fried pork chop is the best!

[@Darksh0t009]

I don’t like being this early so I’ll be back later

[@greggrusso8684]

Same, let me know when you're going.

[@siowamamako5927]

Funny how it was, one felt late before you could make it earlier

[@shrug2044]

I respect this take

[@BookerT69]

Is being early worth bragging about?

[@Panama_Red]

​​​@@BookerT69nah, but we're all here for a good time. Don't look for or create negativity. Life is short and you should try to embrace fun and happiness. I'm pretty sure that's the point of Matty.

[@michele0317]

Love fried pork chop sandwich’s growing up using the left over chops white bread and hot sauce a lil Mayo

[@Fuego_MS]

[@ThatMurse]

to anyone traveling to Oahu. The best hawaiian plate lunch you can get is at Kianis Guava Chicken in Wahiawa. It makes you want to cry the first time you eat it.

[@oghash4912]

I bet, Matty was so passionate when he was speaking of it..I need to go to an island

[@ActPono]

Stop telling secrets brah.

You're right about the no Hawaiian restaurants, any other cuisine I can find but no where in my surrounding area was Hawaiian except a catering only company several cities away.

[@roywatts20]

Fried pork chops just like that are a staple in Kentucky. Had no idea they fried them like that in Hawaii

[@MikeWatson-p2j]

They dont

[@andrewgonzales1108]

Loved this!! Thanks Matty!!

[@AUDIOCHURCH]

Best show on KZbin

[@joelsmith552]

What a fun, weeknight meal idea! Def gonna do the whole plate-up tonight, but those crispy little chops are going to show up elsewhere, too. I want to cut the bones out (after frying) and make a sandwich on Hawaiian rolls with kewpie mayo, teriyaki, and sweet onions... pickles maybe?

[@DawaSupplyCo]

So happy you got to try side street inn

[@pc2908]

Spot on except for the mostly traditional light brown gravy instead of the tonkatsu sauce. Usually wouldn’t come with the tomato salad either, but I love the added healthy! Good job Matty. Mahalo & Aloha 🤙🏽

[@maxp4573]

Imagine just shooting like 7 Episodes of Cookin' Something in a Day and everybody just getting increasingly more crazy over Time, it's insanity and I love it

[@patrickpeapealalo3952]

[@joe651dzd]

Gotta be calrose rice to be Hawaiian style And wash your rice before you cook it!! Gotta be best foods mayo for da Mac salad or it isn’t Hawaiian style. The tomato onion was missing salt salmon. It’d lomi lomi salmon not pico!! And also marinade that pork in sugar and shoyu w some ginger garlic!!! That’s the way there. Let some of the sauce drip on to your Mac salad and you got a win. Love you Matt but you gotta get it right bradda 🙏🏻

[@edwincruz484]

I had side street inn and it was amazing!!!!

[@B-Diddy-6]

Gonna do this up for dinner tonight. Thanks buddy!

[@jackiemcallister7330]

[@jerrysonrai0106]

[@gilliganmcneuter4550]

How is Matty so mellow today It's kinda spooky Also that knife must be pretty dope to cut a tomato like that I remember those Ginsu ads that would tout the capability to cut a tomato, and also a tin friggin can, like in case you get lost in the woods I guess They made it weird so I guess that's why it's so memorable

[@emmanossem5376]

I’d do any carrot challenge for a Matheson pan - love you so much Matty

RIP your DM's.

[@granitkekua4021]

Marty. You missing cubed salmon in your tomatoe and onions. “ Lomi Lomi. Salmon with Hawaiian salt. But thank you for making an episode on Hawaiian grinds🤙🏽

[@patrickhNC]

Nice work Matty! Have you tried Duke's mayonnaise?

[@kellyclark7517]

I have lived in North Florida for at least 15 years and people down here are crazy about Dukes! I think it’s from North Carolina maybe? I’ve used it on occasion and I just couldn’t take it or leave it honestly………. it’s really bitter to me for some reason? Which I guess now that I’m thinking of it seems like a good thing to cut all of that heaviness……… i’m not opposed to Dukes, but I just am not totally into it, but I will try it again!

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

A Hawaiian take-out opened awhile back in a nearby town. I’ve never had any b4 but i decided to go and get some. O good but i wasn’t impressed with the Mac salad at all. I thought, from what I’d heard, that it was supposed to be sweet. It wasn’t seasoned at all. Otherwise it was very good. I’ve tried their poke bowl, spam misubi (?) and their teriyaki all really good. Can’t wait to make it with pork chops.

[@thewatchtower4949]

I like to get the barbecue short ribs, they're really good, the macaroni salad can be the worst part if it's done bad, there's a lot more places on the West Coast so there's probably more options in quality
