Loco moco was originally invented in Hilo. I was born and raised on Oahu but we would go to the big Island often and I ultimately lived in Hilo for five years in my early 20s. Hilo was the first place I ever had a loco but they soon spread to the other islands.

Not exactly health food but satisfying in a pinch.

Yeah they describe it as aggressively comforting food, clutching chest pain. Might as well do your self in with Chicken Fried Steak with Red Eye "Gravy"!
Or you could do this to work it off!

Crispy Blue Cheese Chicken w/ bacon 'n' Chive Mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli.

I know a Little Eva first had a hit with it way back when. But I think it’s unlikely she wrote it.

I love chicken fried steak. A guilty sin. I think a Loco Moco made with a chicken fried steak instead of a hamburger would be awesome.

Just do it!

Just use a mushroom gravy and then it would become healthy.

Yeah Right! To be safe you should have a layer of spatchcocked (I love that word for dropping into conversations) Krispy Kremes! Cooking adds such a very colorful vocabulary, second only to the specialized plumbing vernacular!

Campbell's condensed Mushroom Soup makes a good gravy. Just reduce it down.

Steaks on the charbecue (fighting climate change one meal at a time) and a load of veggies from the biochar enhanced garden.

I am unfamiliar with the term Charbecue, and googling didnt help. Is this just a pun on barbecue or is the cooking fuel biochar or liquid or vapor from dry distillation of woody materials? Much of the distillate would be methanol which is generally highly toxic, but frequently used in warming platters in Sterno. Hard-up drunks have found that the toxic effects can be removed by straining Sterno through a gym sock, though it is rarely specified if a clean or dirty gym sock is better. I think it's subjective like mouth feel.

Safety note! This proposed detoxification is absolutely untrue! Fake news!
But drinking methanol does make it harder to find more methanol.
