In N Out vs Five Guys vs Shake Shack. WOW.
I just HAD to share this article since I have had many conversations with family & friends about these Bi-Coastal burgers!! I am from California and I find In N Out to be fabulous but when living in NYC, I was blown away by Shake Shack- more importantly the Shack Stack (pictured below- note: not a Lisa Original Photo). Shack Stack= a cheeseburger and 'shroom burger topped with lettuce, tomato, and shack sauce. What is a 'shroom burger you ask??...the most delicious crispy fried portobello mushroom filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheese.
Not only is the burger enticing, but they have cheese sauce for your french fries folks!! If you know me at all, you know that my realllllly guilty pleasure is gooey cheese sauce!! mmmm! Shake Shack actually makes theirs homemade and I dip every single fry into it :) I do have to admit though In N Out makes a mean Animal Style French Fry. Animal Style Fries (pictured below- note: this IS a Lisa original photo)= Fries, melted cheese, grilled onions, and their special sauce which is basically 1000 Island dressing. Heart attack central but scrumptious nonetheless!
Sorry I have yet to mention Five Guys, which by the way just made its journey to the West Coast. We took my dad there for his birthday this year. It is a solid burger, do not get me wrong, but I just don't think it is in the same category for type of burgers as In N Out and Shake Shack are. Five Guys is for when you are craving the down and dirty greasy but delicious LARGE burger. I do enjoy it but IF I HAVE to pick... I would pick Shake Shack- sorry CA!
LOVE yor blog! NYC misses you!
ReplyDeleteps- living by madison square park made it rough, 2 minute walk from Shake Shack! That was the "last meal" I had as a New Yorker!

They just put a Shake Shake up near our apt on E 86th Street and the line is NEVER long. So awesome. Been there probably 10 times already. Shake Shack gets my vote, despite contributing to my impending diabetes.
