Profile

This Hell's Kitchen storefront with a Southern California vibe specializes in burgers and chicken sandwiches, or churascos, in countless permutations. A blackened churasco is a couple of degrees of Cajun heat short of a call to Jacoby & Meyers, and needs only minor embellishment like blue cheese, or avocado and Monterey jack.

Recommended Dishes

Blackened churasco, $8.25; Bourbon Street burger, $9.25; hippo burger, $9.25
