I beg to differ. I would hardly compare a Shake Shack burger to one from Burger King, McDonalds or Wendys!

if not, i don't wanna hear no more shake shack.

if so, i guess i can hear shake shack, but i'll know more about your tastes.
I wouldn't pay a premium for a kobe burger, let alone American kobe (which to me is like ordering domestic Prosciutto - it's Parma Prosciutto or it's not!). If I decide that I want to have Kobe, I would order it in the form of a steak, at a fine steakhouse and get Japanese kobe. However, I usually have an appetite for filet mignon, ribeye or porterhouse (if at Wolfgangs or Lugers). Like you, I could not order a burger at places like Lugers or Del Friscos (love their ribeye though!). Your tastes may vary as may mine but the long lines at the shack speak for itself. I also like Corner Bistro and In-n-Out. Now that you know more about my tastes, I'll say it again - SHAKE SHACK!
