Hawaiian plate lunches, poke nachos, and local eats

"After closing for the storm, Grind Wit Tryz, an Alberta Hawaiian restaurant, reopened on Wednesday only to see sales down 95 percent, with mostly neighborhood customers coming in." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Serving from noon until supplies last at 2017 NE Alberta Street, I note that GrindWitTryz is offering kalua turkey with stuffing, rice, and other sides and treats for free; donations can be sent to Venmo @grindwittryz808." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"This Alberta Hawaiian spot is known for its massive servings of kalua pig and ono chicken, served with rice and mac salad in a to-go box straining to stay closed. For a party, it’s best to grab an order of poke nachos on wonton chips, plus dishes like meat jun and garlic shrimp. Specials here are usually stellar, be it a corned beef loco moco or lechon kawali. Find it on delivery apps or for takeout." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"This food cart-turned-Alberta destination serves generous portions of Hawaiian classics as well as creative interpretations of quintessential dishes — like “Hawaiian nachos,” wonton chips topped with poke and kalua pig. Plus, the restaurant also offers the occasional Filipino special, such as a recurring halo-halo, which translates to “mix-mix” and describes the frozen dessert’s parfait-like layers. Menu specials are posted on Instagram, so keep an eye out over there; otherwise, a combo plate of ono chicken and garlic shrimp is sure to please." - Jenni Moore
"Tryzen Patricio, who started his first Hawaiian food cart, GrindWitTryz, right out of college in 2019 with the help of his family." - Jonathan Walker
