The line is democratic: everybody waits, including Mr. Meyer’s children. It is a signal of freshness: everybody waits, because the food is cooked to order. It is the people’s endorsement: everybody waits, so it must be worth it.
philly cheesesteak joints have been doing this forever!! >:|

It also pours wine into stemless tulip-shaped glasses. You don’t realize they’re plastic until you touch them.
very good

not enough class warfare. one line about profanities at a mcdonalds in brooklyn isn't enough.
i don't think the new guy is bad. i liked sam sifton enough but i doubt many people miss him. unlike bruni who was missed.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 00:49 (twelve years ago) link
now sam sifton HIS reviews could sometimes skirt the territory on this thread. cuz he was way into class and snobbery and hipsters.

no excuse for bad fries. so many places making good fries these days. sometimes they are the best thing about a restaurant these days.

yeah I mean there's a lot to be said about a shake shack being put in a predominantly black outdoor mall, the changes in downtown brooklyn, etc.

crinkle cut fries pshhhh
― ⚓ (gr8080), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 00:53 (twelve years ago) link
they are okay as cheese fries
― iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 00:55 (twelve years ago) link
really boring as regular fries
the worst are cheap burger joints with those horrible fries that are coated with something awful. blah. i blame sysco. they must be cheap as hell which is why bad restaurants buy them.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
there is bad bacon going around too. in cheap diners. horrible horrible bacon that tastes like death and deadly chemicals. must cost ten cents a pound. again i blame sysco or whatever bulk crap company makes that stuff. bacon is already deadly, no reason for it to taste deadly too.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:03 (twelve years ago) link
crinkle cut have no purpose. regular fries or waffle fries or gtfo

scott is otm. I have a friend who go to go to a food distribution show for companies like sysco to sell restaurants their pre-made crap and it was all bizarro pseudo-food and prepackaged chicken cordon bleu and shit

One memorable night, I ate half a dozen burgers in Brooklyn and downtown Manhattan, traveling with a half-eaten Shake Shack burger in my pocket for reference purposes. (If you want to try it yourself, get a single burger, no cheese or other condiments. You’d be surprised how well it holds up to this kind of treatment.)
― max, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:11 (twelve years ago) link
btw i am a huge pete wells fan for no other reason than the fact that he infuriates eater/chowhound commenters
― max, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:12 (twelve years ago) link
i hope it was his back pocket.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:12 (twelve years ago) link

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:13 (twelve years ago) link

they should have just had eric asimov do the regular reviews. he was fine.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:14 (twelve years ago) link
are you saying his test was not scientific enough because he was comparing condimented burgers to a burger stuffed in his pocket
― iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:14 (twelve years ago) link
they should have isaac asimov do them i be hed come up w/some neat ideas

it's on Lee Rd up the block from the Library. They do regular and sweet potato fries w/ a variety of dipping sauce options; and also a bunch of homemade ice creams. They had a Left Hand Milk Stout chocolate last month that was A+.
