talk story

Zippy's is a restaurant chain that was founded back in 1966 and a staple here locally. When I moved away this is the stuff that I missed the most. Plate lunches, traditionally a variety of meat, 2 scoops rice, a scoop of Macaroni salad are part of our local culture. 

This is pic is something called a Zip Pac, teri beef, spam, fried mahi mahi and fried chicken on a bed of rice and furikake. A perfect reflection of home because of the hodgepodge of ethnic influences. What's the dish/dishes in your hometown that you crave da most?

When we moved away from the West Coast, I missed the Hawaiian plate lunches *so* much. One of them was actually called Hodge Podge :D  Thankfully we've got Hawaiian Bros now, which was started by the sons of one of the spots in Eugene.

I'm not surprised about Eugene U of O and OSU have huge Hawaii clubs and lots of people decide to settle there.

Makes sense, considering the market they have from all of the students and transplants

For sure. Lots of Japanese (Asian food/influence was excellent, too) & Pacific Islanders.
