Profile

Oozing with Southern Californian vibe, Island Burgers and Shakes 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. Be sure to order yours on Sullivan Street Bakery ciabatta, and douse the flames with a malted.
