So here's the "Shake" down on the Shake Shack

The Shake Shack just opened today and of course I had to go over and see what all the fuss was about.

Word is that in NYC people wait up to 1 1/2 hours in line for a bite of one of these burgers. So I had to go see what was going on because if there are two things I love in this life, they are burgers and shakes!

I ordered a classic cheese burger which came crispy on the edges with melted American cheese on top and let me just say was absolutely delicious!

One bite and I wanted to go back and stand in line to order another one but my waistline immediately denied the request!

The strawberry shake I ordered was thick and creamy and reminded me of an old school malt shake from back in the day although my friend said it reminded him of MC Donalds.

But either way was really good so if you're into a good shake like me, see for yourself and let me know what you think.

One of us ordered some cheese fries which in my opinion could have used a bit more cheese to really be considered cheese fries but the consistency of the fries was spot-on.

The ambiance was nice and airy although the line went on and on and there were no seats available to save your life. They were playing Radiohead which instantly put me at ease and made the wait that much better.

And I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing,when you're hungry, but the smell in there is absolutely intoxicating and keeps you salivating as you wait.

All in all the Shack gets a good hearty shake from me. Just make sure you go with a friend and start some good conversation for a wait of about 30 minutes minimum.
