What is a Hawaiian Mixed Plate?

Their website explains that the traditional Hawaiian plate lunch consists of two servings of rice, a serving of macaroni salad, and features a generous serving of a hot entrée (a smaller “mini” version of the traditional plate lunch consists of one serving of rice, a serving of macaroni salad, and a small serving of a hot entrée). the hawaiian mixed plate is a "signature brand of Asian and American fusion cuisine" according to the L&L Hawaiian Barbecue website. Typical menu items include a traditional Hawaiian plate with Lau Lau (Steamed pork chuck wrapped with taro leaf) and Kalua pork (smoky flavored) to BBQ Mixed plates that include chicken, beef and short ribs.  For a full listing of menu items click here!
