Shake Shack in the Rain

9 p.m. Just after tonight's crazy thunderstorm let up a bit. No line. No surprise at that, though.

What was surprising, however, was the lag time between ordering and burgering. About seven people attacking the Shack, including me, and the joint was moving incredibly slow, even with four or five employees doing their thing.

Shake Shack in the RainNot only that, but my cheeseburger, which I ordered with onions and pickles, arrived with the o's and p's on the side in little plastic containers. Would it have been too much for the Shack to, oh, I don't know, actually place them on my burger? It's not like I had the luxury, with umbrella in one hand and to-go sack in the other, of sitting down at a table and assembling my burger myself.

And the burger was overdone. Definitely cooked beyond the default medium.

This was my first Shack attack of the season. It won't be my last, but tonight I can say the Shack was all wet.
