Only Shake Shack and Chez Panisse for me.
I’ve been tho those and a few others but the one I’m really happy to see on there is Curaté in Asheville.

I've only been to Shake Shake and Franklin Barbecue (repeatedly). One of those was worth it.

When I get invited to Shake Shak I always end up having to pay for everybody.

I stood in line with my daughter and some friends in Madison Square Park one spring day about ten years ago for some Shake Shack. It was fantastic.

The shake shack in Denver was thoroughly underwhelming. I could try another location to see if it’s any different, but I doubt I will even bother.

A chocolate malt and a burger sound amazing right now.

Underwhelming as in not overwhelming? Was the burger dry? Fries soggy?
