shake shack is still delicious

Sure, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but really, I cannot stand by when people say, "meh, Shake Shack is just alright, I don't see what the big deal is." SS is one of, if not the, best burger in existence right now. In the NY area at least. Not to toot horn, but i've definitely eaten a lion's share of well regarded burgers out there. Like many, it's a 2ndary mission of mine to find the perfect burger. Because really, it's almost a perfect food. This is one of my passions!
digging into a delicious double stack. arnold palmer to wash it down.

Pros:
Rich meaty flavor
Juicy, excellent fat:meat ratio
Consistently cooked well
Not too thin, not too fat, excellent size for a fastfood style burger
Uses the world's greatest bun to house the patty and fixins, a Martin's potato roll
Fresh ingredients

Cons:
Too small??
Too juicy for people?
Don't like the sauce? I can understand that.

My partner in crime ordered the triple stack. This one's enough to fill just about anyone, 2 patties and a fried, cheese stuffed portobella cap. The cheese in the mushroom can be a little too rich, too greasy sometimes. Again, just stick w/ the shack burger, double shack burger. She found it typically great, but definitely unwieldy to eat. Especially for those with tiny little mouths like she's got!


This was also the first time I got the 'shackago dog', relish, onions, tomato, cucumber, hot pepper, pickles, dog on a poppy seed bun. Meh. unremarkable. All the different ingredients don't add up to anything greater, you just get alot of individual bites of specific ingredients.

Another must get every time: the frozen custard. Flavors change daily on a monthly cycle. This flavor happens to be peach bellini. Dense and creamy, always fantastic. She looooooooooves the custards.


Go to shake shack! Quit complaining and indulge in deliciousness!!!
