NY Times’ Diner’s Journal blog pits two infamous burgers against each other. Corner Bistro vs. Shake Shack.
And that quickness, my burger-savant friends tell me, speaks to a characteristic shortcoming of the Corner Bistro burger: it’s not always cooked to order.
Mine was tender on the inside but had a dull flavor, and was flabby through and through, with no crispness whatsoever on the edges.
I haven’t had the opportunity to try the Corner Bistro burger, but I do know that Shake Shack’s offering is pricey but very fulfilling. It’s not the end all–be all of burgers, but the Shack Stack rules them all—essentially a double-double with an extra patty of deep-fried portobello mushrooms filled with cheese. The ultimate boomtime.
Citi Field offers fancy foods
From the man who brought you Shake Shack, Danny Meyer is now expanding to the New York Mets’ new Citi Field stadium. You can find a plethora of foods including a favorite of mine, the shack burger.
I am always disappointed by the food experience at a ballpark but there’s something classic about it that makes it acceptable. A shack stack burger while enjoying a baseball game would make it immensely more enjoyable, though.
