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.\n\n*SmokeShack: cheeseburger topped with all-natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper and ShackSauce ($6.69 single)\nThe roommate's burger. I had a bite. I thought the meat to bun ratio was a little off. More bun than meat.\n\n*Shack stack: cheeseburger and a 'shroom burger topped with lettuce, tomato and ShackSauce ($9.49)\nMy 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.\n\n*Shack-cago: shack relish, onion, cucumber, pickle, tomato, sport pepper, celery salt and mustard ($4)\nThe roommate wanted to try a dog as well. I took a bite. It reminded me of a Chicago dog.\n\n*Cheese fries: topped with our special blend of cheddar and american cheese sauce\nMy favorite thing we ordered! The fries were good and the cheese sauce was yummy.\n\nDrinks:\n*ShackMeister ale: brewed exclusively for Shake Shack by Brooklyn Brewery ($6.50 for 16oz)\n*Fountain soda: Coke ($2.75 large)\n\nI 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."^^ . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ . "4"^^ . .
