The lowdown
You can get your ShackBurger fix practically anywhere these days, from Birmingham, Alabama, to Bahrain, but they still taste best at the original Madison Square Park location. Maybe it’s because food always tastes better outdoors. Maybe it’s the cumulative flavor-enhancing mojo of an old and well-seasoned griddle. Probably both.
