I love food. It is absolutely my biggest vice. I love eating it, and because I love eating it, I have to make it.

Recently, I made some loco moco, and it was absolutely fantastic (if I do say so myself). It's a modern Hawaiian dish that, in its fundamentals, is a bed of white rice, with a burger patty on it, with a fried egg on top of that, and not-quite-drowned in brown gravy. I learned it from a friend from Santa Cruz, a place that likes to pretend is Hawaii despite the fact that they're Santa Cruz, which is already pretty good.

As a vegetarian, I have to modify the recipe with a meatless burger and vegetable gravy (my favorite is onion based, because onions are rad as heck).

Highly recommended as a comfort food, or for when you want something hearty as all get out.
