best burger ever?

Saturday night Juliana and I had the rare opportunity to go out, just the two of us (and the baby) without our husbands. While we love our husbands very much sometime it is quite liberating and realxing to be able to do something without them.

We decided to go to Shake Shack. Shake Shack is a magical place full of sunshine and rainbows and birds singing...ok, I'm getting carried away here but it really is fantastic. It's an upscale burger and shake joint. There are a few of them here in the city and they have recently expanded to places like DC. And Kawat City. And Dubai. That's how cool this place is.

Pretty cool

Any who. So this place is super popular. In the summer there is usually a line going out the door and around the corner and people wait. When Juliana and I left the other night it was just starting to rain which meant if there was anyone waiting outside they would soon give up. We got there and we only had to wait in line about 5 minutes. We had to stand around and wait for a table while we waited for our food but the food and an empty table showed up at the same time. We both got a ShackBurger and a strawberry milkshakes. Most people get burgers but they do have hot dogs though I've never had one. We got an order of fries to share with each other and the baby. Their burgers are really truly amazing. They are pricey, $4.50, but oh so yummy. We don't go very often so the occasional splurge is okay.

We had a really great time. Here's Lemon enjoying some milkshake and a fry.
