| - After using a $15 gift card here on Sunday, Steak N Shake and I are officially friends.
The Guacamole Steakburger, which the fine people at S N S allowed me to customize with fried egg, bacon, and their most excellent Frisco *ahem 1,000 island ahem* sauce that ended up being used as a dipper for the order of ace shoestring fries, is an achievement of fast food, matching the Redhead in price and surpassing her in flavor.
At S N S, one can watch the globular chopped steak being pressed onto the flatiron grill and thus see for themselves how French-style is the dark horse way to prepare burgers. The edges blacken and crisp, but the internals never lose their fatty, tasteful moisture.
The Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae is willing to take on all ice cream shoppe comers with its ideally baked discoids of dough.
S N S prepares a better burger than many independent restaurants, including such local disappointments as Redbeard's. I am willing to risk imprisonment for stating that.
S N S also offers a Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae that again trumped a non-chain, this being the nightmarish failure sold by The Shiloh Grill.
Furthermore, the service was stellar, something cannot say about every indie, and that means YOU Shiloh Grill and Redbeard's. When our server sensed that I wasn't mad about my Cherry Limeade (the syrup fell to the bottom), she immediately brought me another soft drink with a beautiful smile on her rosy lips.
Shoot me, flog me, taser me, bar me from Yelp for eternity, Steak N Shake is everything fast food can be and more. It's fresh, highly edible, very affordable, and served up quick. The decor is dynamically retro and therefore a blast. And this one even has drive-thru as well as late hours!
I'm sorry, Corporate won this weekend.
