Aloha
This is Hawaii Lunch
If you've come to America
You must try an American handmade burger
That's right
A truly unique American handmade burger
That not many people get to try
So I did some research
This place is
a burger franchise
That was founded in Hawaii
It seems meaningful
Well, now of course
They are located in California
Or like Texas
But this place is special
Because this is where they started from
[Outdoor seating available]
I'm so hungry, actually
[Huge burger poster]
Look at the size, wow~~
[Entering]
There are so many in the menu
Where should I start?
[Confused]
[The person came before us finished ordering]
Make both combos?
[Combo = Set]
I don't think so, just one as a combo..
Only a sandwich for you?
Hello
A Hawaiian burger double..
Make it a combo..
-And.. -Double?
I thought you said single
[Order error]
Sorry, one single Hawaiian combo
Can I have a Hawaii Kai
Just the burger, please
Can we choose, or do we just
You can choose any drink you want
Got it
-Perfect -And, medium okay for the meat temperature?
Yea, medium is good for us
Wow, you can really choose any drink
There are really so many different kinds I've never seen
What's this?
Burgers?
Bangs?
[Both wrong]
[Barq's - root beer, American carbonated drink]
Dr. Pepper is no longer available in Hong Kong..
[Choosing tea as a drink]
[Getting ketchup]
I'm curious about this
It's some kind of iced tea
It's written passion mango flavor..
Passion fruit and mango
[One more sip]
[Thinking]
It's really tea
It's not sweet at all
Huh?
[Shocked]
Really?
Try it
[Verifying]
It's not sweet at all, it's tea, tea, tea
It kind of tastes like cold brewed tea
[Unexpected encounter]
This is interesting
It's the first time I've found something not sweet in America
Right
It even says it's sweet
[Observating]
The interior of this restaurant
The design
Looks a bit like it's a restaurant
Built in the 90s
-It looks really old -Yeah, yeah
[Retro vibe]
Now, let's started unboxing
First, the box is really big
Wow
It's big
-Oh~~ -Oh wow
Look at the burger, oh~~
Wait a minute
Oh? They give ketchup too?
But here..
Even if you eat at the restaurant
They use disposables
The table next to us also uses disposables, but
-Anyway -Yours
French fries
We
Ordered the small one
That's why we got such small amount
But it seems freshly fried
And very plump
America's s..
It's really American-sized
-Chubby -Yeah
[Marvelous]
-Delicious fries -Tasty
But I can't tell what's what
Which one is Hawaii..
Wow~~~
This is yours
There's pineapple inside
-Oh, this is Hawaii -There's meat
There's sauce
Fresh stuff
The special point is the grilled pineapple inside
Right
Grilled pineapple..
In a burger
Not really..
I've never seen it
It's a single but really big
Good thing we didn't order a double
Right
If we ordered double, we wouldn't have been able to finish it
[Tasting time]
[Savoring]
Wow~~
What?
Are you pretending?
No, no, the meat
This smell, the smell of grilled meat
It hits you as soon as you take a bite
Oh really?
Yeah, it feels like it's the real stuff
One of the features it also has is
This bread
Grilled with garlic
Garlic sauce
They put it in and grill it
I saw it on the internet
No wonder..
He saw it on the website homepage
So this is also grilled, even the bread
Now, let's take a look at my burger
Drum roll, please
First, it's very hard to open
[Struggling]
Cut it through the middle
Okay
Wow, first of all, the vegetables
Are enormous
They are really big
With sauce here
Two pieces of lettuce
Chicken
Grilled chicken
Tomato, onion
Radish..
This was the Hawaii Kai burger, right?
Yes, that's correct
-Hawaii Kai burger -Honestly, I don't really know what it is
I don't really know either
Anyway, let's try it first
Oh, sorry, it wasn't chicken
[Double-checking]
Bacon, and cheese
Patty
Wow..
It's too big
[Comparing the size with the face]
Can't fit it in one bite, right?
[Wow]
Mine..
[Cautious]
-It's teriyaki sauce -Ah
Teriyaki sauce
But when I looked this up on the internet earlier
The vibe itself is 1950s
Didn't they say it's supposed to recreate the feeling of 1950s burgers?
That too, on their website
I found out after checking their website
But this burger place
Since 1998
-They opened -Yes
Now
In Hawaii alone
-There are 14 locations -Wow, amazing
Truly represents Hawaii
You could say it's a burger franchise that represents Hawaii
Another thing different from other burger places
The difference is
Here, the patty
How well it's cooked..
-Right*2 -You can choose
We chose medium
Medium, but just right, not bad
-The texture is good and it seems fine -A bit red
There's a bit
It's not bad
Chews softly
In Hong Kong burger places
-I've never seen a place where I can choose meat temperature -Neve, never
[Gethering pieces]
Oh, personally, I think the grilled..
Pineapple fits really well here
But if the pineapple is raw
It can actually be a bit sour
But when grilled
Yeah
It becomes a bit sweet
[Transformation]
But this sauce and
The meat goes really well together
And one more interesting thing
Personally, I find the vegetables the most interesting
They're fresh
Yeah, right
The lettuce is really fresh
-It seems like it was picked just today -Right
I thought it was produced
For salad
One interesting thing here is
There are a lot of Koreans
Even now
Next to us
The table in front of us was also Koreans..
..There were
And the family ordering now..
How do they know to come here?
I've never seen Hong Kong people
-Oh, in America really.. -Since I came here
I've never seen one
No, it seems like there are really no Hong Kong people in America
To come from Hong Kong to Hawaii
You have to transfer in Korea or Japan
-Yeah, right -That's probably why
I've never seen anyone from Hong Kong
[High Difficulty]
Because Korea or Japan have direct flights
It seems like more people come
Even when we said we were going to Hawaii
Among the people around us
-Right, no one had been -No one had been to Hawaii
-Never*4 -Strangely, there were none
But before leaving Korea
When we met the families
Everyone had been to Hawaii at least once
[Reasons for many Koreans]
Wow, despite all the twists and turns
We've managed to finish them somehow
[Mission Complete]
You can get free refills for the drink
Yes
Very good
As expected, Everything was big
That's right
I'm so full..
I took some of hers, and I'm really full
We barely managed to finish it all
[49,000 won] The price came out to $37 (KRW 49,000)
Isn't this pretty decent, actually?
For American prices?
[Hesitation]
Well, I guess so?
Aren't they all similar?
Right, have we already gotten used to expensive stuff?
Yes
Anyway, eating a delicious American burger
Made me really happy
What made me even happier was
That it's a burger from a franchise that started in Hawaii
Which seemed meaningful
Yes
So we will come back with a tastier Hawaii trip in the future
See you
Bye bye
