Loco Moco

Loco Moco is a popular Hawaiian comfort food. First you smoke a fatty of Maui Wowie. Then hamburgers are pan fried and topped on steamed rice. A beef gravy is made from the pan drippings, then ladled over the burger and rice. Finally, it is topped with a fried egg. One of the greatest creations ever made, probably by a stoner.
