Shaking Our Way Down to the Shake Shack

It's been quite the while since the HOchieS have wanted to try the burgers at the Shake Shack located at Madison Square Park down on 23rd St.



Of course, we for some strange reason that involved us being "mizzled" believed the Shake Shack to be near Bryant Park.

Indeed, we're not sure why we thought that either...

Well anyway, thanks to H1's 2009 Plan of a Once a Month (Or Maybe x 2) Foodie Adventure (because honestly, we always say we're going to do stuff but then we don't and this city's too great to ignore), we're knocking things off our list and despite conflicting reviews, I found my burger at the Shake Shack to be pretty damned good.



Maybe!

Just maybe!

I forgave it for not having bacon.

Though, as we all know, bacon makes everything taste better...

So maybe not.

I had to have the double because with a burger lacking bacon, I had to become the piggyh in that equation to complete the meal:





(No H1, I'm NOT always a Piggyh!)

But you know, a double Shack Burger without bacon is just not enough and that's why a Shack Attack Shake made from chocolate custard and all manners of chocolately bullshart complete with chocolate bits is in order.



I maintain that I am no pi::oink::gghy!

Those Who Went Adventuring with the HOchieS:

Aims, Alex, and Frass. Oh, Frass...it was good to see you because sometimes I miss you. Sometimes. Don't forget to come up on Saturday for some Jerk Pork!

Memorable Conversation of Wednesday:

Text from Or 2 to Beetchie: Don't Hate me. I have a confession to make.

Text from Beetchie to Or 2: Whu't...

Call to Beetchie from Or 2: Well, you see...H1 made these plans that I was unaware of really and apparently she and I are going to Shake Shack on Thursday...

Return response from Beetchie to Or 2: Oh, whatevs. I'm in the line at Shake Shack right now. Ahahahahahaha.

Or 2: You Ass!!!!! Did you even THINK of me when you were doing this?!

Beetchie: Yeah, you were in the back of my mind but then I remembered that you documented photos of tape on my back.

Or 2 to H1: I'm going to wish her a tiny 'choke' on her shake shack burger but not until I have consumed my own.

We all know how Karma's a bitch.

Memorable Photos of Thursday:

Rain threatened our plans again but in that period of stoppage, Frass bought us the following to clean up the chairs -



And so Alex did.
