Lunch Wagon or Lunch Car Food...

We've all seen lunch wagons pull up to construction sites or office buildings on the mainland. Here in Hawaii, the wagons or in some cases cars, park and people come to them. I've been taking pictures for a while now of this unique Hawaiian custom. I just realized that I've got pictures from pretty much the four sides of Oahu.
This is by no means ALL of the lunch wagons that are around, only a very small sampling.

Kahuku

Kunia Road, Kunia

Kalaeloa, Leeward side

Campbell Industrial Park, Ewa

Every time I go by one of these places, there are lines. Most of them serve up the traditional plate lunch...2 scoops rice, mac salad and some kind of meat. Always have fruit punch to wash it down.

I know that a lot of tourist will stop at the shrimp trucks, but these other places are just as good. So if you want some "real" local food, stop at a lunch wagon and order the special plate of the day. I'll guarantee it's probably "broke da mouth" good!
