Street Burger, a new burger chain, is expected to open the first week of September in a 2,500 square foot facility in Kapaa across from the Kintaro Japanese Restaurant. The husband and wife pair are seasoned chefs (no pun intended) looking to offer an exciting new food option to the Kauai community. Aaron Leikam has worked at Hukilau Lanai and 22 North and his wife Kristin Leikam has wedding cakes business called 'Cakes by Kristin'.
The decor will be rustic with reclaimed wood and corrugated metal and will seat 70 people. The menu will include house made ketchup and mayonnaise and local meat, lamb & eland (a type of antelope) from Niihau. There will be over 20 different types of burgers, 10 different salads and an assortment of interesting pupus. And with any good burger, there is good beer - with 26 beers being offered on tap. Yum!
