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

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

ya that's why you have to prep your stomach w/ a layer of peanuts

for the burger that's fried in peanut oil and the fries which are fried in peanut oil

yo bro heard you liked peanuts

shake shack rules, by far the best burger in the city

This is ridiculous unless you regard a burger only as something you get at a fast food chain (or, as you indicate, you don't really like meat). It's very good as far as that goes, and certainly better than In 'n Out, which I guess might beat it on fries, as Shake Shack's aren't that great, but even those too are pretty boring there. Yes, In 'n Out beats Five Guys on most scores.

C.K. Dexter Holland, what is the most you would pay for a really good burger

Shake Shack also has good dogs. Not quite Hot Doug's, perhaps, but more convenient.

Oh, and the alcohol offerings.

most other burgers make me feel ill due to their size/amount of meat.

i find the opposite to be true - the shake shack burger is just not filling, but the double is gross feeling in the stomach. the ideal nyc burger for me will always be paul's.

fast food style burger is best, fuck a lol hueg chunk patty, get w/the burger zeitgeist

C.K. Dexter Holland, what is the most you would pay for a really good burger

What does it come with? I'm going to say $16, maybe 18 if it's really special.

Solution - the shack stack, or a burger and a dog (which is a little much). I never eat the fries.

pretty satisfied to have my burger opinions called ridiculous by someone thinking about a really special $18 burger.

dont feel like ive had that many sliders, theres some place in the east 20s that I heard abt

I don't 'get' sliders

like how many are you expected to eat

only burger he'll touch

In fact, it contains at least one ingredient I won't touch.

thick patties you gotta unhinge your jaw to eat, man, that's not good
