This food truck changed my life as a 10 year old. It is the single best shrimp I've had in my life and the highlight of my visit to Hawaii.

the personn WHO deVeins each n every 1 OF them SHRIMP is THE #foodhero of this FOOD truck biz

I remembered going here every weekend while I was on active duty. It used to just be a large tent. Even got to sign the truck. That was in 2003. The spicy garlic shrimp was the BEST. The drive was worth it.

Lucas has a delicate equilibrium so that one sleeve rolled up kept him cool in the Hawaiian climate, much like the one leg outside the blanket lol

I love the way you describe food(whether you like it or not). You are the type of "food host" that viewers respond to and love watching. Cool dude!

Probably one of the only places I've been to that's been featured on the show, and I can definitely agree that it was a great meal, with beautiful scenery all around.

Best shrimp on this planet my family knows how to whip it up ❗️🙌🙌🙌 Mahalo for showing the world 🌎 this amazing food 💕

I don't know why but I have developed a love for garlic recently which is weird. I had never liked garlic before! Those shrimps covered with fried garlic look awesome. I am going to try to make them myself.

Still one of the best food-related shows out there. Thank you Eater and Lucas!

The best. Brings back memories from active duty days. I was there when they were just a single food truck and a tent.

I only recently discovered this series--around 2 days ago--and proceeded to finish watching all the videos within a day. I've been watching the playlist on repeat and was surprised to see a title I didn't recognize! LOL. Keep the videos coming!

i just..... just cant stop looking at that bicep of Lucas when he had one of his sleeves up

ive never been jealous of a shrimp before

They say the only way to get a reply from Eater, is to say something very right but very wrong too. Ok, im giving it a try. Pineapple on pizza is ok. Now we wait.

Love the way you walk, Lucas...and talk.

I can't believe I pressed "like" because Lucas asked if I liked garlic and I nodded my head like an idiot and said "Yes, I love garlic."

Lucas trying to get a new fashion trend going with the one sleeve up. LOL! You look like you got a wee bit of sun while you were there, Lucas, and it looks great on you! That garlic is mmmmm!!!

I really need to stop watching these late at night! Now I'm hungry

"Do you like Garlic?" Is that a question? I FUCKING SMASHED THAT LIKE BUTTON!!!

Kamehameha way lol.

I love this guy more episodes with him

That Kahuku shrimp is so fresh, Giovanni's and Romy's off Kam Highway are the best spots

That look on his face when trying the spicy one...omg, I have never seen Lucas with a smileless face!

Finally a video about a place I've been to!

Bro the number 2 is the absolute best! And their Mac salad is bomb!

I miss Lucas so much

this guy is the best and finds the coolest spots!

I ate here on my trip to Oahu.. I got to say shrimps were really good and hot !!! I had the spicy ones and they were great !!!

I was wondering when Lucas was gonna come by here. It wasn't a matter of "if", because giovanni's is by far the best food I ever had on Oahu! Garlic shrimp FTW

This guy is actually well spoken and talks like he knows his stuff unlike other food travellers that just make facial expressions and say its so good.

i normally don't like it when i'm being asked to like something on youtube, but for Lucas, exceptions can be made

i went here in sixth grade and i miss it so much

Giovanni's shrimp Truck is where it's AT! I went there about three years ago, and I've never forgotten that experience. The garlic seasoned shrimp is a-m-aaaaa-zing.

I actually enjoy just crunching on the shells and tail without peeling shrimp (unless they are huge). It has so much flavor and adds a crispy texture especially if the shrimp are fried. Don't be afraid! They should be cleaned already though along the back.

I miss this place. good local food. gotta go back there when I visit again.

This is the best place in the world !!!!!

should go to piccolo Street they have the best krillin

Hey Eater It'd be great if you guys included the prices along with the dishes

an All Shrimp food truck? Private Benjamin Buford Blue approved!

curry shrimp, fried shrimp, garlic shrimp, boiled shrimp, broiled shrimp, deep fat fried shrimp, pan fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp soup.

Watching Eater is like watching Food Network. Holy shit the production quality is superb

What are you talking about Lucas? "Food trucks" or lunch wagons as we call it in Hawaii has been around for at least 50 years, so I don't know where you getting your information from. It may be a new thing on the mainland but on Oahu you could find them all over the island, especially around construction sites and industrial areas where the working men and women could find an affordable and convenient place to eat.

One time for Lucas eating that spicy shrimp for the culture!

So so good! Been there! The chickens are agressive probably because they have tried these shrimps! (Check in on yelp for a free drink there)

Lucas swagged the badass turtle-tail hairdo liked no other

1:00 - 1:07 that camera man is checking Lucas out harddd I ship it

I was born in the 50s We ate out of food trucks since I was a baby. Depending on whether or not we wanted spaghetti or stew, we would frequent certain trucks mostly at the beach where they fed hungry, cold surfers primarily. Because of government restrictions, their popularity waned for years but new trucks equipped to cook fresh food with refrigeration made a comeback by the 90s. Not very popular in Hawaii? Sorry, we probably were eating out of food trucks first. But what I will tell you is that Giovanni's is most definitely the first of all the shrimp trucks on the North Shore. I used to go to them since the 70s when they were the one and only shrimp truck around. There was no eating space, just some sand, grass and a garbage can. Now, it's a commercial hub of activity. But the shrimp has remained the same. Good, garlicky, fresh and made to order even through a change in ownership.

this dudes got his pronunciations on point.

Been eating at Giovannis before they made the little eating area.... ohh and when they gave more shrimp and it was under 10$ a plate......

Sheldon was my fave , but lucas u are starting to grow on me mate ! Aloha from australia !!! :)

I like how all Lucas vids start off like a bangbros vid....

I miss this place

"Dining on a Dime" but goes to an expensive food truck. Giovanni's is still fire tho

I liked the video because I like garlic xD

Hawaii & shrimp! That's not fair maan!!!

My dad took a bunch of tourists here once back in the day. He told me this Japanese girl cried because it was so spicy. Even the Koreans couldn't handle!

Basically all I ate when I was in Oahu. Good shit.

Smacked the like button!

Lucas, do a whole series in texas. its friggin huge and has regions you could compare/contrast

I used to LOVE eating shrimp as a kid, but now I have strangely grown an allergy to it! I miss eating them without ending up in rash and breath difficulty 😶

Each Wednesday I come that little bit closer to booking a holiday to Hawaii. :|

I was expecting Lucas to say "Lets see what this shrimp is all about" in the beginning

Lucas is the flavour profile 👑

Shit I remember coming here the first time I went to Hawaii. The lemon butter garlic shrimp was so one note and honestly not worth the hype

I'm kinda allergic to shrimp but this looks good asf.

was here at the food trucks this weekend at the north shore!!!

Garlic is life

Lucas you are 110% incorrect when you say "food trucks were not popular in Hawai'i up until recently". I think Hawai'i invented the food truck. They were called "Lunch Wagons" and they were everywhere especially in Honolulu along the water fronts and in the industrial areas providing delicious affordable lunches for blue-collar workers. I am pushing 60 years, and was raised here, and I remember as a kid my dad buying me "plate lunches" at the lunch wagons at Kewalo Basin on the Honolulu waterfront, and along Sand Island Road, or the airport industrial area. Were talking over 50 years ago, and lunch wagons here predate me by decades to pre WWII. They are still around and popular with working class people in parts of Hawaii few tourists will ever visit. You missed out not trying these real parts of Hawai'i's culinary history and culture. You also missed out not trying Romy"s Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp located in Kahuku on the northern most point of Oahu. Romy's has the freshest shrimp because Romy's farms their shrimp in the ponds right behind their shrimp hut. Best fresh prawns & shrimp in Hawai'i.

This was local news way back when: the current operator is the second owner (as you saw on the video) and bought the business from the original “Giovanni” for a hefty $400,000, including his secret recipes. Giovanni then regretted his decision and got some local thugs to try to take back the business but was not successful.

I remember eating here in 2017, the hot and spicy shrimp was delicious and boy was it hot and spicy! I loved it

I’d eat the shell too! I love shrimp& garlic on everything! Ooh i want them all

Lucas you're the goat

was lucas an extra on Westworld? i swear i saw him in a scene

B4 Food trucks was popular, we had Food Vans lol AKA manapua

Oh man, I miss this place.

“Why does garlic taste so good?” - No Vampire Ever ... hahaha ...

I like how they serve a simple option with just lemon and butter even though the scampi ones with loads of fried garlic would be my thing. In Spain we eat them with a bit more oil, garlic and chili. Eat the sweet and spicy shrimps. Dip bread on delicious garlicky spicy oil. Nomnomnom

Sadly didn't see this in my box, but better late than never! With garlic, butter, lemon, salt, pepper, and ginger, simple food can sure become blissful. Lucas signed the truck with 2016 - are these pre-filmed from last year?

I’ve been there. The Food is Outstanding nice open area to sit and eat your food.

This company/truck has lost their soul when they were purchased from original owners. Sad times 😢

Smashed the like button because I like garlic.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY.....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MAAAAAAAYYYYYHAAAAAAA!!!!

Giovanni's is litterally the only thing I eat when I go to Hawaii

this was the first thing i did when i got to the north shore

Thank garlic for my like.

When I went to go see my brother I saw a lot of these shrimp trucks and I saw this one too around the less populated part of the island

I love GARLIC!

smashed the like button 👍

I love love love garlic

This guy is incorrect in the beginning when he states that food trucks are new to Hawai'i. They have ALWAYS been around. Don't forget the manapua man!

Great review! When I go to Hawaii next year, I'm going to do a bunch of food reviews.

What’s with the “one sleeve” lol 😂 your so funny sometimes and laid back!

Hawaii had the first food trucks. It was called the manapua man. Found in the hoods of Hawaii.

love you lucas

Lucas, saw you in an old episode of Jane The Virgin!

I'm allergic to shrimp, but that looks so good.

Love his garlic shrimp!

Reminds me of the kid in A typical

Ugh!!! I haven't been back in years and I can taste that hot sauce! 😝😝

i've eaten at giovanni's before and it is so good. it deserves all the hype
