Feel-Good Burger Story of the Year!

Posted by Adam Kuban, June 23, 2005 at 3:00 PM

Like most bloggers, we check our website statistics the same way Dustin Hoffman would if he starred in Rainman II: Electric Blogger Boogaloo. We are absolutely obsessed with seeing where our visitors come from.

While checking SiteMeter earlier this morning, we ran across a blog called Tangentialism and found this great story about a saved-from-the-wreckage birthday dinner at Shake Shack. Long story short: Birthday boy was told by a Shack employee that the Shack closed at 11 p.m. Birthday boy plans a nighttime picnic there for 9 p.m., arrives, and finds the Shack closing up shop. Quick-thinking Shack manager arranges Shack sister restaurant Eleven Madison Park, just across the street, to make the birthday party dinner and delivers it to attendees in the park.

Aww. What a great birthday gift.

I am honored, and a boy. For what it's worth, the Shack crew are now officially "on message" about closing at 9, though the manager in question says they're moving to the 11 PM closing time "in a week or so".
