Plate lunch

Hey kiddo, have you ever heard of a plate lunch? It's a type of meal that's popular in Hawaii, where they like to mix different kinds of food together on one plate.

Imagine you're at a cookout and you have a paper plate in front of you. Now, imagine that plate is divided into three sections, kind of like a tic-tac-toe board. In each section, you can put a different kind of food.

Usually, one section has rice (yum, right?), another section has a type of protein, like chicken or kalua pork, and the third section has a side dish, like macaroni salad or grilled veggies.

Some plate lunches come with extras, too, like a fried egg on top or a scoop of chili.

The cool thing about plate lunches is that you can mix and match different foods to create your own meal. And they're usually pretty big, so you won't leave hungry!
