I, for one, am shocked. I am speechless. I am amazed. As the official unofficial Shake Shack correspondent for BURGER CLUB, I could not pass up the opportunity to try the one-day-only offer of a peanut-butter bacon burger. Never having been a bacon-on-my-burger kind of girl, this meal was a true test of my dedication to accurate BURGER CLUB reporting.
The location was the Upper West Side and the line was surprisingly quick-moving. This place knew what they were doing. The crowd was abuzz -- could it be that is concoction, which bears a description that could turn the stomach, was actually mmmm-worthy? My lunch companion (who shall remain anonymous). I was overcome with trepidation at the sight of the thing, but with one hard gulp, took a big bite out of the burger.
The first word that comes to mind is rich. The combination of the salty bacon with the salty-sweet PB created a satisfying taste not unlike that of chocolate covered pretzels. I couldn;t resist diving in further for a second bite, then a third and a fourth. My companion was equally as voracious. We ate it up--literally!
Now, a word to the wise, or more specifically, to those for whom rich food fills you fast: you may need a buddy to finish this treasure. By the time I was mid-way through the burger, the PB Bacon combo caught up with my stomach and mouth and I found myself unable (for the first time in BURGER CLUB history) to eat it all. Furthermore, the chocolate shake, while decadent, added too much to the richness of the burger and failed to satisfy any kind of thirst. The fresh-brewed iced tea, on the other hand, provided the perfect compliment with which to wash it all down.
Bottom line? Try something new, if for no other reason than to say that you did.
