Da Local Boy LLC was established in 2021 in Lake County, IL. Our family moved to Illinois during the peak of the pandemic for my wife’s school. I was a private chef in Maui. Being an island boy, we were homesick. We missed the taste of the islands. That’s when we decided to start sharing our food with our coworkers. Eventually, people started to recognize our work. We started a pop up tent and within a few months of operation, with the support and love we have gotten from the community we were able to get our food truck.

Hawaii received an influx of people coming to the islands during the plantation era. Folks come from different regions of the world, each bringing their own traditions to the islands to share with others. As a result, Hawaii became a melting pot of exciting cuisine from all around the world.

Our main goal is to bring the taste of the island to the mainland. Our inspiration drew from the colorful array of cultures back home combining ethnic flavors for a grand fusion of the island’s unique flavors. Serving folks with traditional and Asian fusion island experience.
