The Burger Lab: The Fake Shack | A Hamburger Today

Yes, I’m talking about the Shack Burger from Shake Shack, of which more than enough has been written about already. I’m not here to wax poetic about what Josh Ozersky has dubbed “the platonic ideal of a hamburger”—rather, I’m here to talk about a way to skip the line that doesn’t involve standing outside at 9 p.m. on a rainy Tuesday night: Just make the Shack Burger at home. Easier said than done.
