[edit] Hawaiian Barbecue merger

I'm proposing merging Hawaiian Barbecue into this article since it describes the same thing, Hawaiian Barbecue being a name that L&L came up with when they expanded to the mainland. -- Hawaiian717 01:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I think these are two distinctly different articles, as a plate lunch is a specific serving style of certain foods and is nothing like a Hawaiian Barbecue. Plate lunches are served at small food trailers or food stands and consists of one meat, rice, and macaroni salad. A Hawaiian Barbecue takes place in a large area with pits dug into the ground to cook the pork underground, can include any type of Hawaiian food, and is generally a buffet type setup. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.101.92.136 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC-7)

Have you actually read the Hawaiian Barbecue article? It's not remotely close to what you're describing. What you're describing as a Hawaiian Barbecue, I would call a luau. -- Hawaiian717 04:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Lacking any significant objection, I've gone ahead and redirected the Hawaiian Barbecue article here. Much of it discussed the origin of the term Hawaiian Barbecue as coming from L&L's expansion to the mainland, but I didn't add that bit to this article since the listed references didn't really back that up. -- Hawaiian717 22:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Good work. —Viriditas | Talk 02:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] a vaguely Pacific-Rim/American menu item

What exactly is that phrase supposed to mean? Can someone edit the article to clarify? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.15.115.165 (talk • contribs) 11:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC-7)
