new york city related discussion itt

I knowed about that for a long time, b/c my school was right there. I missed it though. W/E it would have been bad news during finals stress.

I think there's also a panera going in next door which is...uh, panera

so over shake shack, it's okay but c'mon

yeah it's not worth standing in long lines for

no food is worth waiting in an hour line for but be serious shake shack is super dope

and hey since there are so many now you dont have to wait!

i'd rather wait for the shake shack than for lucali

That's batshit

i'm not gonna wait an hour and a half to pay $26 for a plain pizza

don't knife me bro

I mean even if you tend to eat half a pizza yourself it's $13 a person -- not really very much for a top notch food experience. It's also really not a "plain pie" the way you mean it, but w/e, be a philistine.

also the wait isn't as bad if you show up a little before they open

uws location is easier to negotiate that union square

man those krinkle kut fries are my favorite, best in town next to yr favorite bistro frites

i have never waiting an hour in line for shake shack, its "overrated" i guess but dollar-for-dollar probably the best burg in nyc

max goes in through the kitchen w/ 'and then he kissed me' playing in the background iirc

they even have Shake Shack at Saratoga racetrack now. shortest Shake Shack line I have ever stood in, surprisingly

Shake Shack lines may be pretty quick at Citi Field next year

I would maybe be more impressed by shake shack if I weren't from california but that place really just seems like a pretty good generic burger place to me? except for the concretes, those are good.

ur straight trippin dawg

luv californian burger culture but shake shack is next gen futuristic magic

btw went to the battery park city one and there was like a 2 min wait

I just don't get where the amazing magic part comes in. good quality patty tho the rest of the burger is only 'okay'. fries are not bad but nobody would go out of their way for those fries alone.

ilx burger discussions are so deflating

I'm going to be in NYC from Dec. 25 through Jan 8. What's everyone doing?

eating burgers, shunning iatee for not comprehending the 2011 burger landscape

you know what I really like, the sign in the times sq area

shake shack rules, by far the best burger in the city. i've never waited more than 10 minutes, i don't think, just have to be smart about when and to which you location you go.
haven't been to lucali, but the place owned by the dude's brother, giuseppina's, was amazing and empty. especially liked the calzone.

can somebody explain to me what's so good about a shake shack burger

man the tab headlines have been apocalyptic lately

it's small, greasy, and beefy, with a lovely soft bun
xxp

can somebody explain to me what's so good about a shake shack burger

for me at least it's this certain salty char they get on the burger. it hasn't had it every time I've gone but when they get it right it's the best.

the flavor of the meat is amazing and the grease works its way perfectly into the rest of the set up

want one

sounds like they are using doctored meat

I will try one next time I am in NYC and I will hand down my pronouncement upon the shake shack

this is where the shake shack meat comes from http://lafrieda.com

the meat's good for sure, the accompaniments are half-assed imo

times magazine piece abt shake shack / danny meyer http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/07/magazine/danny-meyer-is-on-a-roll.html?pagewanted=all

no wai the bun is tits xp

I think I just prefer a firm bun? ya ya no pun intended. anyway I don't think it's bad just not transcendent. prob better than 5 guys but I go to 5 guys more cause I like eating peanuts while I wait.

no bun intended

iatee how does shake shack compare to in-n-out

omg 5guys isnt in the same league as shake shack, in n out is great but its sort of a diff thing, more of an irl really good fast food burger

I agree 5 guys isn't the same league it does have peanuts and they are in the area I am when I am hungry, more often

in-n-out is better on every level, also way cheaper.

in n out is awesome and cheap but lacks the haut rigor of shake shack

yeah it's like low high-culture vs. high low-culture

shake shack burgers are tasty but they are so greasy that they make me feel a little ill and they are not quite delicious enough to merit that.

most other burgers make me feel ill due to their size/amount of meat. shake shack doesn't do that. five guys is so unremarkable.

5guys is good but kinda gross
