Expressions Definition
Loco Moco The Loco Moco is a dish unique to Hawaiian cuisine. It consists of white rice topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg, and gravy. Its roots are not entirely clear. James Kelly writes that the dish was created in 1949 by the Inouye family, who owned the Lincoln Gril in Hilo, Hawaii in 1949. In keeping with the standards of Japanese Cuisine, they used rice as a staple starch and finished it off with the hamburger and gravy to create a dish that did not require the preparation time of bento. The egg was added shortly thereafter. The name derives from the nickname of one of the teenagers who frequented the restaurant ('Loco') combined with a rhyming nonsense word ('moco'). It is a widespread and popular dish in Hawaii and a favourite of local fast food restaurants, but is almost completely unknown elsewhere. (references)
