Locokinegrindz.com (LKG) started off in mid 2008 as a hobby project. It served primarily as a review site of different restaurants around Hawaii. Since its founding, LKG has undergone many changes visually, but its core theme has remained centered around local eateries.
After suffering a catastrophic database loss at the beginning of 2009, LKG has been on-and-off online. Much of its original content had been lost, with only about half of the 50+ review features salvaged from the database error. In August 2009, LKG set out to relaunch once more with an initial set of content that was saved while working towards bringing forth new content. This new content would stretch beyond the standard restaurant features to new video content, as well as features about local recipes and cuisine.
