Coney Shack Chef and co-owner Lawrence Mach started his business when he found a street cart for sale in Coney Island in 2013.
The Brooklyn native opened his newest location in University City in July, serving up Southeast Asian flare on American bites.
From their Mach Dog with a torched Mex cheese melt to the Vietnamese shaking beef short rib available in their rice bowls, burritos and quesadillas.
Coney Shack is also known for its tacos. The award-winning beer-battered crunchy fish taco features deep-fried Southeast Asian fish with shredded cabbage, cilantro scallion red onion with a lemongrass aioli.
Lawrence hopes to represent Coney Island as much as possible and also help the small businesses still there through his concept.
