  • All-shrimp food trucks are popular lunch destinations in Oahu's North Shore, but none top the island fame (and proliferation of graffiti) of Giovanni's. Host Lucas Peterson stops by to see what all the fuss is about.
    Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country. With features, explainers, animations, recipes, and more - it’s the most indulgent food content around. So get hungry.

    This food truck changed my life as a 10 year old. It is the single best shrimp I've had in my life and the highlight of my visit to Hawaii.

      We have lots of varieties of shrimp and prawn that have white digestive lines. Not many know that you're sometimes eating the whole shrimp, cut but not de~veined.

    I remembered going here every weekend while I was on active duty. It used to just be a large tent. Even got to sign the truck. That was in 2003. The spicy garlic shrimp was the BEST. The drive was worth it.

      The guy's a poser. Especially that stride he does during the start of his videos. He probably thinks he's Cary Grant or John Wayne but he actually looks like he just shat in his pants and he's walking slowly toward the toilet while the shat is crawling down his leg.

    • @yaboifet9058
      @yaboifet9058 Před 7 lety +2

      i have tried it many times, it is really good. I like it especially when there is not much mozzarella on the pizza, and the prosciutto is cut thick and is a bit dry. I think the goal is to have the pineapple be the juiciest thing on the pizza. If the thing is floating on sauce or cheese i can see it tasting bad. Maybe thats how some people got the bad experience. I can control this however since i either make the pizza myself, or i order it from a good restaurant that know what they are doing, i dont really mind the price since i only order for special occasions.

    • @yaboifet9058
      @yaboifet9058 Před 7 lety

      Leo Lujan again, many people might have tried it and not liked it. Everyone has their own taste. Yes there are people who just jump on the bandwaggon and think they are cool because they share this sentiment, even if the never tried the food, but after all, its the internet. Everyone here has a phd in something and an uncle at the nsa, also countless experiences.

    I actually enjoy just crunching on the shells and tail without peeling shrimp (unless they are huge). It has so much flavor and adds a crispy texture especially if the shrimp are fried. Don't be afraid! They should be cleaned already though along the back.

    I like how they serve a simple option with just lemon and butter even though the scampi ones with loads of fried garlic would be my thing. In Spain we eat them with a bit more oil, garlic and chili. Eat the sweet and spicy shrimps. Dip bread on delicious garlicky spicy oil. Nomnomnom

    What are you talking about Lucas? "Food trucks" or lunch wagons as we call it in Hawaii has been around for at least 50 years, so I don't know where you getting your information from. It may be a new thing on the mainland but on Oahu you could find them all over the island, especially around construction sites and industrial areas where the working men and women could find an affordable and convenient place to eat.

    • @peepo1460
      @peepo1460 Před 7 lety +4

      I post in another comment, but yea Lucas trip to Hawaii has been a let down, the worst he has ever done, I don't know if he has someone else doing research or himself. Looks like no effort whatsoever was put into this trip.

    • @leal5049
      @leal5049 Před 7 lety +3

      Tama Toa don't flatter yourself. lunch carts and wagons and whatever you want to call them - food in wheels- have been popular all over the country since industrialization. the hipster term "food truck" is new, but not the concept.

    • @davidiwaoka4146
      @davidiwaoka4146 Před 6 lety +1

      You are correct about lunch wagons being a part of growing up in the old days. My uncle owned one back in the early 60's. I've eaten a lot of plate lunches with my wife when we were going to the University of Hawaii back in the early 70's. Our favorite was the beef curry plate. Sitting on the grass sharing a plate in the gentle breeze is among our fondest memories. The heyday of the lunch wagon in Hawaii is pretty much over - probably due to the amazing amount of eateries available to the hungry.
