You know, Micky D, The Burger K, and the C Jr.\u00a0 We hadn&#8217;t been back to Island for some times.\u00a0 Allen said he thought it was good, so I decided to play a good wife and went along.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve only been to Islands twice. I liked it the first time. The 2nd time I liked it less. This time, the 3rd, I can&#8217;t even say I liked it anymore. It was just meh.<\/p>\n<p>After looking though the menu for 15 minutes, I finally decided on Kilauea (Jalape\u00f1o &amp; black pepper-crusted burger w\/pepper jack cheese, Island Reds\u2122, chipotle aioli, lettuce &amp; tomato.)\u00a0 It would have been fine and actually tasted OK if it were burnt black!\u00a0 What the heck?\u00a0 I asked for medium well not burnt!\u00a0 I ate 1\/2 of it and just couldn&#8217;t eat anymore!\u00a0 I kept remembering I read somewhere that burnt food cause cancer!\u00a0 Maybe the side salad would provide some anti-oxidant to counter act.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2694\" title=\"IslandB-7\" src=\"http:\/\/wendyfulworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IslandB-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendyfulworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IslandB-7.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wendyfulworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IslandB-7-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/>Allen ordered the Pipeline (Chili, american cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles &amp; mustard.).\u00a0 I think it looked sloppy as hell.\u00a0 And if you know me, if the food doesn&#8217;t look good, it doesn&#8217;t taste good for me.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t want to even try it.\u00a0 Unfortunately, even for a burger lover like Allen, he thought it fell short.\u00a0 He took a bite of mine and said it was better.\u00a0 The Chili especially was disappointing. It had no substance nor flavor, just some watered down sauce.<\/p>\n<p>It came with measly 4 pieces of onion rings that were so over-breaded.\u00a0 They tasted like they were a day old, dry and hard!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2695\" title=\"IslandB-11\" src=\"http:\/\/wendyfulworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IslandB-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendyfulworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IslandB-11.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wendyfulworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IslandB-11-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Left &#8211; Kilauea.
