The Shack Research Paper

INSERT OPENING HERE

Now, I’ve been driving past the South Lamar branch for a while now, and keep thinking that I need to try it. This review has given me the perfect excuse. We decided to visit for dinner.

The night was dark, and chilly, but Shake Shack was lit up like a Christmas tree. I would credit most of this to the floor-to-ceiling windows. I was able to look in as we drove past, and saw families and friends dining and having a blast. I couldn’t wait.

Unfortunately, we had to park in a garage and walk through the cold weather to get there, but in the end, it was definitely worth it. At least it was warm inside. Some restaurants are always either too cold or too hot, but the Shack was pleasantly warm. We were immediately greeted by
the classy wooden chairs and tables, as well as the marvelous live moss growing on one wall. It was truly a sight to behold.

We (me, my sister, brother, and parents) made our way to the counter and started staring at the giant menu covering one wall. There were so many delicious options, I had no idea what to get! In the end, I settled on a plain cheeseburger with bacon - you never can go wrong with that. We decided to order dessert later, and just start with dinner. We all ordered our own personal meals, but didn’t forget to get some of those famous crinkly fries to share!

While walking away from ordering, I noticed that all the employees were in a really good mood and enjoying themselves.
The were singing along to some music playing, and laughing and joking. They probably would have been more serious if more people were there, but there was only us and a few other tables of people in the place. Overall, there was a great feeling/vibe at Shake Shack. It’s definitely the kind of place you’ll want to visit again.

After sitting down by the window with waters and our pager (their ordering system), we noticed how beautiful the view was. Even though it was night, we could see out across South Lamar and past, over houses and hills to downtown Austin. It was an amazing view, and we were all glad that we chose to sit next to the window. We were even happier, however, when our food came. At least I was.

When our pager buzzed, my dad and I jumped up and walked to the delivery counter to get our food. It all came on a tray, wrapped up and looking delicious. The fries came in little baskets as well. needless to say, we were all excited. As we began passing out the food, I noticed something. There were four burgers on the tray (see above image), but five of us. They had forgotten my
burger!

Thankfully, they had made it, but just didn’t place it on the tray.
We got it all sorted out, though, and I walked away in a minute or two with my aroma-radiating burger. Once I had gotten my burger, we all dug in. My first bite was that of heavenliness. The patty was large but not too thick, and was full of juicy goodness. The bacon was perfectly crisp, with a hearty mouthwatering flavor. There was just enough cheese so that it all fit together flawlessly. Shake Shack had done a great job on the burgers. Now, time for the fires.

These, I was particularly excited for. I had seen good reviews of them online, and seen pictures, but hadn’t actually tasted them before. Now was my chance. I snatched one from the basket closest to me, dipped it in bright red ketchup, and popped it in my mouth. My first though? Superb. These Shake shack fries were some of the best I have ever had, and will most likely stay that way. They had the perfect crunch, and the perfect yellow/golden color. It's like the Shake Shack people prayed to the food god or whatever to come down and bless their fries with eternal deliciousness. That’s how good they were.

I was definitely surprised with how good our main course was. Now, on to
dessert!
