| - Being from L.A., the closest Shake Shack I had until very recently was the West Hollywood location. And unless you live in that area (which is basically as far as away from the freeways as you can get), it'll take at least an hour minimum for me to get there...and that's if I'm lucky. So, being the out-of-towner that I am, when I happened to stumble upon Shake Shack in Scottsdale...YOU DON'T GOTTA TELL ME TWICE WHAT TO DO.
And apparently I came at the right time for my very random client visit to Scottsdale, as this location was only open for about two weeks when I stopped by. Pretty shocked that it was as empty as it was at 8 PM. Think there were more employees in the store at the time than customers. You go to the new Glendale location out here in SoCal and the lines are out the door and around the corner. Either way, I'm not complaining. Plus staff was pretty nice, can't complain about that.
Either way, if you come to Shake Shack and don't get the shroom in your burger, I don't really know why you came here. In a straight shootout, In-N-Out's burger is definitely better than Shake Shack. But the shroom is what defines Shake Shack, and it was just as good here as it was in New York and Las Vegas.
This time though, I decided to experiment since I always get the Shack Stack (beef patty + shroom). To even my own surprise, the fried chicken patty with the shroom is BETTER than the Shack Stack. Chicken was super moist and the fried chicken batter wasn't overpowering as compared to the rest of the burger. Might've found a winning combination there! O_O
And yes, do yourself a favor and get one of their Concretes. You'll feel super fat afterwards, but they're too damn good not to have when you come through.
