rocketboom: Shake Shake has semi-officially become the Rocketboom lunching headquarters, with many hours spent savoring their delicious flavor.  Serious Eats breaks down why these burgers are just so good. “the Shack uses potato rolls that are part of the Dutch/German/Pennsylvania baking tradition. Even the special sauce, which in California is invariably a Thousand Island variant, is at the Shack much closer to a garlic mayo. It is fair to say that Shake Shack took the West Coast model as inspiration but has put a unique New York spin on it.” they’re good, but its sort of the same deal with magnolia where people equate the line to meaning you’re getting something amazing. don’t get me wrong they’re good, but maybe a little overrated.

    AKA “CATBIRD’s MOST SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL TUMBLR POST EVER” People, Shake Shack
