ETA:No recipe for it
Look around the site as they have done tons of things with burgers that I've never seen before including this.Doesn't look half bad.

I've had few subway sandwiches but not any others mentioned herein. I had a spicy Italian with lots of stuff in it. It was food.

Never had Potbelly, but I find this hard to believe. I thought the only way this comparison goes is where Jimmy John's >>> Subway. They are 1A and 1B as far as crappy sandwiches go IMO.

So I got a regular classic smashburger, a regular order of smashfries, and a regular drink. Came to $9.49 after tax.Politician Spock said:
Meat is seasoned better than Five guys. Fries were crisp and salted. Great food and I ate everything. No throwing away food I paid for or paying for peanuts I didn't eat. And it was under $10. Left far more satisfied for what I paid than I ever felt leaving Five Guys. Smashburger kicks five asses!!!

Jimmy John's: B-. Not bad, but kind of flavorless, especially the bread.
Potbelly's: A-... that's real bacon.
Schlotsky's: B+. The bread is the best of any sandwich chain. Only complaint is the turkey seems way over-processed.
Jason's Deli: Unsure. I usually default to their very good salad bar when I eat there, but I seem to recall the sandwiches are decent.
Newk's (probably a regional entry) - B+. Love the bread with it's slightly dry texture.
Subway: C. Really they don't taste bad, especially when hungry, but I just don't feel confident that the meat product is indeed meat.
Jersey Mike's: Incompete. Only ate there once. Had the Rueben, and would have liked it more except for the steam sensation I had to endure while eating it.
Sandwiches I make: A++... I broil a mean ciabatta with creamed spinach, pre-broiled eggplant, roasted jalapeno, fresh mozzerella and chicken apple sausage.

I'm an In N Out fanboy and I've never heard of Shake Shack, but if Umami is on the list it HAS to be above InO.

Penn Station East Coast Subs
$11.42 for
8" steak and cheese sub
Small fries - enough for 1 person but certainly not a whole family, and while I could see the potatoes in house there was no indication of their origin
Fresh squeezed lemonade

maybe thats why the five guys near me is always empty?
Jersey mikes is pretty good. Been eating there a little more. Better then subway. I do like Togos still too.

Maybe. Everyone in my neighborhood is in and out of five guys in about 60 seconds. Just walk up to the counter and give your name and they get your fries and hand you the bag.

Any time I see an inexplicable restaurant at the top of a list, I ask myself the following 2 questions:
1) Is it from NYC?
2) Is the author NYC-based?
In this case: check and check.
I have my doubts about that selection.
On the web you'll often find some NYC homer making best-of lists with nearly half of the places in NYC.

NYC is one of the best food cities in the world, this is prob why there are always a few places from here on these lists.
Shake Shack is fantastic... I love FG, but I'd prob take the SS burger over it. They have crinkle cut fries & I actually like the FG fries better though.
It started as a shack in Madison Square Park and now they are expanding. Luckily for my stomach (& unluckily for my arteries) they opened a location about 10 blocks from my house. They're up to 6 or 7.

Getting a burger on a nice day at the original in Madison Square Park is over an hour of waiting in line. Personally I wouldn't wait, but people do...
You can view the line at Shake Shack Cam Madison Square Park.

42 Internationally now including 4 in Turkey and 5 in Dubai. And it actually started as a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park operating out of the Eleven Madison Park kitchen. The fries have changed (not for the better IMO, but for the healthier).

Wow, didn't realize they were outside of NYC... Thought there were just a few of them.

In NY alone you have:
6 in Manhattan
2 in Brooklyn
1 in Long Island
2 in Queens (Citifield & JFK Airport)
1 in Saratoga Springs
It's a phenomenon I don't entirely get. Was out at Madison Square Park for the Big Apple Barbecue a couple of weeks ago. 16 of the best pitmasters from around the country and people were still waiting in line for 45 minutes for a Shake Shack burger.

Big Apple BBQ 
I dont get the waiting on line either... When I used to work on 23rd st, I'd grab a burger early (like 11:30) if I wanted Shake Shack and beat the line... There used to be a NY Burger Company on Park Ave right there that was certainly very good (it shut down now
) or another one on 6th Ave close by to get my burger fix if it was after 12.

In-n-Out and 5G in a near tie according to Consumer Reports for burger taste with InO edging 5G out for 2nd place, nationally.

So on the more local side a review for my Charlotte friends. Went to a place called Sauceman's for lunch a couple of days ago. It's a BBQ place, on the corner of West Blvd and Hwy 49, that has won a couple of smaller competitions. It wasn't bad but I was expecting more. And I was a little disappointed in the Mac and Cheese. It was a bit dry. The meat was good though on a par with Mac's Speed Shop which for a chain ain't bad.

In order to get Shake Shack in Madison Square Park, you basically have to wait on a line that wraps around the edge of the park... On a typical day, if you go around 12:30, the wait will be about 40 minutes to over an hour.What's this now?Big Apple BBQ

yesThat's pretty awful
saying wait on line is pretty awful unless you're using a computer or standing on top of a line somehow.
