808 LOWRIDERS MEET & EAT | 3.11.23
Date: Saturday, March 11th, 2023. Time: 6:43 a.m. Location: H1 Highway, Townbound. Destination: Work. Another 8 hour shift ahead of me, but this morning’s weather looked very promising for this afternoon’s 808 LOWRIDERS MEET & EAT with the sun rising up above me and blue skies as far as my eyes could see. Let’s just say the weather hasn’t been cooperating this past week or two with cloudy skies and intermitent rain and scattered showers. Yes, I was definitely looking forward towards this afternoon’s 808 LOWRIDERS MEET & EAT
Time: 12: 00 p.m. Location: Still at work. Agenda: Lunch break. 5 hours away until our 808 LOWRIDERS MEET & EAT and the beautiful weather was holding up. I intentionally skipped eating a meal for lunch in anticipation with shoving down some onolicious broke da mouth Hawaiian kine local style kine grindz down my throat from Laverne’s Hawaiian and Local Style Food later in the afternoon
Time: 4: 45 p.m. Location: Laverne’s Hawaiian and Local Style Food truck within Pearlridge Shopping Center. Patiently waiting for my order of their Lau Lau and Squid Luau and ready to get my grub on. I was famished and rightfully so. As mentioned earlier, I had skipped eating a meal for lunch in anticipation for this moment
Lau Laus, Luaus, and Lowriders. Only In Hawaii. Pictured below in hand was my order of Lau Lau and Squid Luau along with a scoop of rice and macaroni salad from Laverne’s Hawaiian and Local Style Food. Verdict: (5) out of (5) Shakas
