In the old days, tonkatsu was popular but since the 80s, chicken katsu
is served everywhere and you have to seek out tonkatsu. If you're a
plate lunch place in Hawaii, you'd better serve chicken katsu because
some people will always order that. Grace's Inn serves a pretty decent
chicken katsu.

Actually, that wouldn't work cause the bacon takes around a minute to
deep fry while a meatloaf would take around 8.

My wife called me this morning trying to get more meatloaf but alas,
there was none. Guess I'm gonna have to make more. You know what would
be great stuffed into a meatloaf? Shoyu pork! :-)
