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.

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 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.

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 love this guy more episodes with him

ive never been jealous of a shrimp before

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

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

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

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."

Kamehameha way lol.

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

this guy is the best and finds the coolest spots!

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

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 !!!

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

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

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

Smacked the like button!

should go to piccolo Street they have the best krillin

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

smashed the like button 👍

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

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.

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

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

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)

I miss Lucas so much

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

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

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

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

love you lucas

Great video thanks for the information just sub 🤙

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

Lucas you're the goat

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

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

Love his garlic shrimp!

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

I liked the video because I like garlic xD

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

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

great, now I'm hungry.:)

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

I like garlic! And sleeves too ;)

Lucas swagged the badass turtle-tail hairdo liked no other

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

I miss this place

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

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......

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

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.

Looks delicious

Oh man, I miss this place.

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

I’ve been there. The garlic shrimp was oily but delicious!

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

that looks super delicious holy

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 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

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

Smashed the like button because I like garlic.

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

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

wow my favourite shrimp

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

Smashed!

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

I love love love garlic

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

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.

G is good, have you tried teds up the road? North shore is dope, hope you can do an eat street episode

delicious!!

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?

Hi, Lucas 😍

I hope you guys are visiting kahuku superettes poke

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!

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.

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

hmm. just wanted to put it out there I personally don't like Giovanni's no matter how many times i eat it. its completely overrated, of course many people love it so I keep going back to see if it can get any better but always disappoints. If you do decided to go Giovannis to try it and have an appetite I really really recommend Teds Bakery, their Garlic and Spicy shrimp is amazin!. Sounds weird that its from a pie shop but its way better, it also comes with mac salad and a slice of their amazing pie! If not you could also try the Korean run shrimp truck which is about a 20 second walk from Gio , its also better.

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 😶

Reminds me of the kid in A typical

Thats spicy Shrimp and the Garlic shrimp are what got me hungry! Oh and the guy who hates Pineapple on Pizza deserves a public egging... Pineapple on Pizza is the best topping PERIOD! :)) (Ok one of the best)
