| - I may anger a lot of Shake Shack fans. But sitting down at Shake Shack, the roommate whispered to me, "This is like an overpriced Wendy's." I didn't think that exact same thing, but I kind of agreed with him.
*SmokeShack: cheeseburger topped with all-natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper and ShackSauce ($6.69 single)
The roommate's burger. I had a bite. I thought the meat to bun ratio was a little off. More bun than meat.
*Shack stack: cheeseburger and a 'shroom burger topped with lettuce, tomato and ShackSauce ($9.49)
My burger. Besides this being hard to eat due to the height, I thought the mushroom overpowered the whole thing. Plus the breading was too thick and hard. I did enjoy the mushroom by itself though. Without the breading.
*Shack-cago: shack relish, onion, cucumber, pickle, tomato, sport pepper, celery salt and mustard ($4)
The roommate wanted to try a dog as well. I took a bite. It reminded me of a Chicago dog.
*Cheese fries: topped with our special blend of cheddar and american cheese sauce
My favorite thing we ordered! The fries were good and the cheese sauce was yummy.
Drinks:
*ShackMeister ale: brewed exclusively for Shake Shack by Brooklyn Brewery ($6.50 for 16oz)
*Fountain soda: Coke ($2.75 large)
I don't get it. Both the roommate and I had friends that adore Shake Shack and told us we HAD to go. Maybe it's better in NY, but I wasn't impressed.
