Season 2 Episode 25

​​​

Shake Shack feat. Jen Kober (Stand-Up Comedian)

​

In this episode of Fine Dining: The Search for the Most Mediocre Restaurant in America:

​

○ I cap off a jetsetting Septemburger with the spot I barely had to go a mile to get to, Shake Shack. One of my go-tos in this this bracket, and I was graced with the presence of hilarious comedian Jen Kober

○ The origins of the place were unclear at the time of filming, but I ultimately learned that the original Shake Shack was called I Heart Taxi, and it was a hot dog stand in Madison Square Park

○ The Secret Menu: Disastrous Restaurants

○ A very sterile atmosphere corrals customers towards a row of iPads

○ What's Going On Over There with a peculiar conversion overheard between an employee and a customer?

○ Septemburger: It's time to give the White Castle slider the mercy flush it deserves as it goes head to head with the Shackburger

○ What we ate: Crinkle Fries, The Shackburger, Cookies 'n Cream Shake, Chocolate Shake, Chicken Bites, Hot Dog, Smoke Shack Burger (not reviewed until the Septemburger Finals episode on 9/30 on Patreon), Carolina BBQ Burger w/Fried Pickles (will be reviewed if Shake Shack advances to the finals of the tournament)

○ ​Jen talks about eating a pig's face as she details the worst and best restaurant experiences she's ever had at the Calibration Station
