Re: Beef kind of a question
"Doesn't Salisbury steak have tomato in it whereas hamburger steak doesn't?"
Not sure about that, would've thought the topping (which kine gravy) would have more relevance. But they are both just ground beef, so the real question is where to find a place that uses the best-quality beef instead of the slaughter-house droppings.
Do NOT expect to find first quality at Sodexho-Marriott establishments, no matter which name they use.

Re: Beef kind of a question
Maybe Salisbury steak has gravy and hamburger steak doesn't?

Hamburger steak without gravy? What are you...communist? Nah just joking. But hamburger steak without gravy is like eating your cereal without milk. And don't forget the marbalized onions too!Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

Re: Beef kind of a question
Actually, they are one in the same. The term "Salisbury steak" came about because there was an English nutritionist named J.H. Salisbury in the late 19th Century who advocated a diet of lean meat.
Salisbury steak and gravy probably was the origin of "loco moco" which until the late 1960's, didn't exist.

I think the difference here is that all the restaurants and fast food joints I been to sell hamburger steak as "hamburger steak." The only place I ever see it billed as "Salisbury Steak" is in the frozen convenience foods department of my local supermarket where the thing is sold as a packaged convenience food.I'm still here. Are you?

Originally posted by MiulangI don't think it existed "formally" as a fast food item, though. Or maybe it's because there was no L&L back then. When I was still living in the 'aina (until the mid 1960's), there was nothing on any menu in any restaurant on Maui that was called "loco moco." There always was "hamburger steak" with gravy, but I think it was Sam Choy who put "loco moco" on the menu.

Thanks for the loco moco link. I'm glad someone else recognizes the fact that Loco Moco is a very old island favorite. However the link's mentioning of Cafe 100 in Hilo serving of Loco Moco needs some clarification. Their dish lacks taste. I've tasted better versions at Diners in Honolulu. They use those frozen patties instead of fresh hamburger.Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.
