Bought some ribeyes for 4th of July.

July 3rd @ 8pm, and yes that’s a storage area our Costco has.

Lol did someone fuck up and order too many?

Can we stop calling everything a poke bowl? Just because it has cubes of raw fish doesn’t automatically make it poke.
When you pile on mango, lettuce, corn, beans, carrots, tomatoes, and a dozen sauces, you’ve created a salad or grain bowl with fish on top.

Poke is a dish that comes from Hawaiʻi. The fish is supposed to be the star. Traditional Hawaiian poke and even modern local styles are centered around quality fish, not twenty toppings competing for attention.

If you enjoy those bowls, that’s fine. Eat whatever you like. But at some point it becomes a different dish inspired by poke rather than poke itself. Hawaiʻi’s food culture deserves the same respect people give to sushi, ramen, or other traditional foods.
