"Burgers and Fries in moderate portions"
The original Shake Shack is in Madison Square Park in Midtown Manhattan where people will line up around the park for hours just to get their hands on these tasty little burgers. These shots were from the UWS location at 366 Columbus (@ 77th street). Simply delicious and freshly prepared, these moderately sized, hand-packed burgers are slightly bigger than a traditional slider, but not as large as a giant pub burger. The Shake Shack 'shroom burger is two portobello mushrooms wrapped around muenster and cheddar cheese, breaded and deep fried, then tucked between a bun with shack sauce, lettuce and tomato.
I'm dreaming about it right now and wish I had ordered one last night as we walked home along Columbus from Times Square.
Shake Shack's traditional cheese burger is everything it claims to be, good 'ol beef, cooked medium and topped with cheese. Ask for everything if you like pickles, tomato and lettuce. For the Canadians reading this, the fries are like the ones that that "Jay" ate in the McCain Superfries commercial from the late 90's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR9X_LcC7yQ). Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Enjoy burger lovers - see you in paradise. Keep on eating in New York city.

Damn.... that 'Shroom Burger sounds MIGHTY good right now.
ReplyDeleteOh... and the commercial was actually from the '80s. They started showing it again in the late '90s because it was so successful way back when, and they felt that people would identify with it from earlier on and buy again (targeting young adults in particular). I think even in the commercial they said something like, "He still likes them now".
