Article basically says that in addition to the West Hollywood location, Shake Shack also plans to open in DTLA and across from the Americana shopping center in Glendale.
I think it’s “concrete” isn’t it? Or am I wrong?
I ate one in Vegas. It’s just soft serve… I don’t get it.
Seems like a trend with the NYC places. They act like we’re being graced by God whenever one of their revered food establishments deigns to open in CA, and our reaction is usually somewhere between “I don’t get it” and “yeah that’s OK, not bad.”
Interesting that they’re opening up SS at the site of a former club. That’s a pretty far cry from the setups they have in NYC, but we’ll see what they come up with in that space.
I mean SS is good and all, but some website acutely noted that a single SS burger is more expensive than an entire combo at InO.
Who is “they”? I don’t get the resentment towards NYC restaurants. No one in NYC freaked out when Sasabune opened in NYC.
In fact, I’d argue the LA crowd is a bit hypersensitive about restaurants from other cities opening here (see Pok Pok). Variety and free market is a good thing.
It’s just good old fashioned capitalism. Not NYC trying to subjugate LA.
Five Guys is from DC/VA, not NYC, but I’m with you re the Halal Guys. Never got the love for their food even when I lived in NY.
That said, Shake Shack is on another level from either of those places. Not anything I’d wait in a long line for, mind you, but sufficiently delicious that I’m looking forward to their arrival in LA.
Mushroom stack (deep fried portobello stuffed with cheese, on top of a burger) here I come!
