Agh! How could we have missed this one! If we would have known that Martha Stewart was going to be flipping burgers at the Shake Shack in New York City's Madison Square Park, we'd have trekked down there for lunch for a photo op. As the New York Observer reports:

"Large or small?" asked Martha Stewart of the Madison Square Park Shake Shack's lunchtime regulars on Tuesday, June 21—most of whom seemed unimpressed with their billionaire burger-server. "I guess I like her," said one woman waiting in line, as her friend stared into space and tried her hardest to look like she would've been there with or without the celebrity presence.

Ms. Stewart got a new daytime show, aptly titled Martha, and she needs to get her knees dirty (when she's allowed out of the house, at least) if she wants to connect with the unemployed proles whoíll be watching it.

The idea for the segment, according to a hanger-on, was to go around the country and film "fun and fabulous" places to eat. "You never know where she's gonna be!" said a member of Ms. Stewart's team. "Hence the Shake Shack! This was perfect for her, as she loves burgers and frankfurters." Oh my God, us too!
