mmm-yoso is not on vacation. Cathy decided to write something today, and Kirk didn’t want to. Stay, read, enjoy!
So, I am always carrying the camera around with me and pretty much eat something every day, and sometimes it tastes good (that last part was not sarcasm, based on my last few posts). The Mister and I sometimes go to Islands, usually with a gift certificate. So, here we are. 
Islands.
Burgers. Lots of choices. I got the Big Wave, the basic one ($6.39). 1/2 lb of beef, cooked medium rare (I asked; the menu says medium only..be polite and they may take the burger off the grill before it hits medium in heat). Comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and mustard… on a white or wheat bun. Juicy, flavorful, excellent. The bun was lightly toasted and fresh.
A side of fries? Sure.
Wow. Enough to be able to take home and fry for breakfast the next morning…fresh potatoes, medium cut, with skin, very fresh, crispy, nice. ($2.95)
The Mister got a Kaanapali Kobb salad ($9.39)(that whole New Years Resolution thing ).
Lots of lettuce, some cabbage, some chopped scallions, grilled chicken breast, chopped tomatoes, chopped bacon, chopped hard cooked egg, avocado, blue cheese chunks and tossed in a blue cheese dressing. Quite a lot also.
Good portion sizes. Fresh made for you.
As we were leaving, The Mister went to grab "Take Out and Fax menu" and there were a few interesting items on it…the primary one category that caught my eye was the "High Protein Platters"..this was not on the menu in our booth. 2 hamburger patties with American cheese and bacon, served with sliced avocado, tomatoes and wedge salad with blue cheese dressing… for $10.25; also 2 chicken breasts with melted swiss and sauteed mushrooms and the same salad with avocados and tomatoes and the same with a 1/2 rotisserie chicken…all are $10.25. Interesting. Must pay more attention.
Surprisingly good food here. I am now sort of happy to eat again, yet cautiously optimistic. Website. Islands, numerous locations in California, Arizona and one each in Colorado and Nevada.
