I got the Shake Shack cheeseburger on a flight from SEA to SNA the other day. Curious thing was that it had been listed asas the standard Delta cheeseburger, but switched to the Shake Shack version when I checked in, so they must just be solidifying their catering/marketing operations in these new markets.

I've been a little burnt out from the dozens of short ribs Ive had on this route, so was curious try it. I've never had the previous Delta cheeseburger, so have no point of comparison. But for the most part, it was fine. Perfectly serviceable burger. Admittedly was a bit over-cooked as a result of the in-flight reheating process. Any semblance of juiciness was a result of the Shake Shack branded sauce -- which I wish I had gone lighter on.

The best part of the meal was actually the caesar salad -- which had real shaved parmesan and is much better than the celery-heavy salads that Delta is otherwise serving these days.

All in all, I'd have it again -- I just wish they provided a wet wipe because your hands get greasy from eating the burger and going to the restroom on the plane to clean up afterwards isn't fun.
