Definitions
A Hawaiian culinary institution: a lunch plate loaded with portions from more than one main dish — think teriyaki chicken alongside kalbi ribs, or loco moco sharing space with something fried, all piled over two scoops of rice and a scoop of mac salad. The mixed plate reflects Hawaii's multicultural food culture, where Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Chinese, and American influences have merged into something entirely their own. Ordering a mixed plate is committing to abundance.
She got the mixed plate with teriyaki beef and katsu chicken, which was absolutely the right call.
