Shake Shack’s Large Shack is a limited-time, Large Mac-like burger that options two quarter-pound Angus beef patties, secret sauce, inexperienced leaf lettuce, two slices of American cheese, Roma tomatoes, thick-cut pickles, and onions, on three buttered and toasted potato buns.

The Large Shack usually prices $9.99, however I used the chain’s present deal, which helps you to get one at no cost once you spend $10 or extra. I purchased a Espresso Shake and onion rings for a little bit over $10.

My specific Large Shack got here with an virtually comically small high bun and threatened to topple over resulting from its peak and the very thick, lightly-pickled cucumbers and different produce.

It regarded fairly good. I had a little bit of a debate with myself over whether or not to attempt to lower it in half for a cross-section shot. I managed, although:

The “secret sauce” was simply Shack Sauce. In comparison with Mac Sauce, it is extra delicate (much less tangy, much less candy) and savory.

The center bun was pointless. It might need been helpful if it had been between the pickles and tomatoes to assist maintain them in place. The melted cheese would have been loads sufficient to carry the patties. The lone leaf of lettuce did not do a lot for me.

The meat patties had been cooked rather well. They’d crispy edges, a pleasant sear on each side, and a flavorful, juicy inside.

The onion rings I bought on the facet had been glorious. They’d a pleasant, crispy beer-battered shell and had been cooked by means of for a simple, clear chew.

On the finish of the day, I actually loved the Large Shack. It is principally a Double ShackBurger with a center bun, onions, and pickles at a slight low cost (far more so with the deal). Whereas it is considerably unwieldy to eat resulting from its peak and development, the tastes and textures had been nice, and the onion and pickles added a pleasant crunch, accompanied by gentle flavors.
