Shake Shack

[Miss Katie’s]

Oscar's is great.  Solly's is awesome because half of every bite is melting butter.  Sobleman's used to be great but got too big for it's own good.  Elsa's is solid.  Haven't had Nite Owl but have heard it's right up there with anything in Milwaukee.

Love the burgers at Camino — my favorite in town.  And their $5 burger deal on Mondays is great.

Shake Shack came about to give people a place to eat and hang out in Madison Square Park. (It began as a hot dog cart.)

It's a take on the St. Louis childhood of Danny Meyer. He's big into burger type hang out places. Fitz's, Crown Candy Kitchen, Schneithorst's (RIP), Steak 'n Shake, Ted Drewes, The Parkmoor (RIP original but there's a newer location in Webster Groves w/same burgers)

Ted Drewes another very overrated custard stand. The custard itself is around the level that Culver's is. I'll give them credit for their new Mississippi Mud flavors. The mix ins are great there.
