Shake Shack Takeover Returns
May 4th, 2019 @ 04:00 PM

Event Description

Come greet the Spring with our vary own Patty-tastic Pagan ritual - an al fresco gathering of greasy-griddle-burger-consuming shamans and shamanettes. We shall come robed in the glory of our mutual meat appreciation, waiting in line while sipping sneaky drinks until that golden moment when the Shack bestows upon each of us its tiny bundle of delight.

Join us, as we feast at the table laid by Danny Meyer, and then venture out into the Spring evening with our bodies full with beef, but our souls light with joy.

Andrew's review

Shake Shack is like the burger equivalent 90s alternative band Gin Blossoms - it'll never absolutely blow you away, but it'll also never let you down, and somehow you're always left just a little bit happier when it comes up in your life. It remains a damn fine backyard burger, and a fantastically-crafted example of harmoniousness between tastes and textures.

Because All Men Must Dine, I went ahead and tried the limited-edition Game of Thrones-themed Dracarys Burger, which had some nice zest thanks to the spicy sauce and jack cheese, but otherwise was just a glorified double bacon cheeseburger. My fellow Andrew (foolishly) got a single patty and paid the price in balance - though in a "is there trouble in paradise?" moment, he found his burger poorly assembled and prepared, which is surprising given their general consistency of craftsmanship.

Ultimately, however, Shake Shack was just good ol' Shake Shack for the majority of the team...and in these trying, turbulent and divided times, sometimes that's honestly all you want out of a Saturday afternoon meal...

Maybe I just love Game of Thrones too much, but this is just a dang fine burger with the right amount of zest, and the usual Shake Shack excellence of balance and quality. Glad I got the double to match the bacon.

Tasty burger, speedily delivered. Docked points for toppings because I had hoped for something fresh (lettuce, tomato) in addition to the bacon and chopped cherry peppers. But I was happy with the taste of those peppers - nice and spicy. Good value for a fast-casual burger on a pretty spring day.

Not a great showing. If I could attach photos, I wouldn't. It wouldn't be worth it. It was a disaster of a burger. But the spicy shack sauce was a nice addition...
