Shake Shack Root Beer Float: I'm a fan of Abita root beer, which is on tap at Shake Shack, so I was curious about their Root Beer float. The one size is very substantial and comes in a tall container with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The quality of the ice cream and soda were both good, and together, they tasted exactly like what you would expect a solid root beer float would taste like. However, I did find because there was so much of it, the flavor become very one-note after several sips. It would be great... (read more) 3.0/5.0

Shake Shack Surf 'n Turf burger: A New England exclusive, this burger is topped with fresh lobster in a light mayo sauce. I purchased mine from the Shake Shack on Newbury Street in Boston. The amount of lobster was fair for the price (at $8.99 a burger) and while the texture of the lobster was good, it didn't hold up to the flavor of the burger (mine was overlooked, no pinkness in sight). The remaining aftertaste was pure beef and no seafood. The best part was the potato bun, which as far as I know, is not unique to this li... (read more) 3.0/5.0

Shake Shack ChickenShack: A Brooklyn-only, limited edition specialty, the New York-based burger chain pays homage to Southern fried chicken and does it successfully. The white meat fried chicken is remarkably moist, and the fried coating is lightly seasoned and spiced. This classic chicken sandwich is paired with classic accompaniments, including lettuce, pickles, and an herb mayo. The Martin's potato bun is the same as what you find with the burgers: slightly sweet and in good proportion to the meat. As a burger per... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Shake Shack salted caramel hot chocolate: On cold nights, there's nothing better than a cup of hot chocolate to keep you warm. This seasonal item at Shake Shack hits the spot, with a rich but not too sweet chocolate and caramel combo and slightly frothy top. Highly recommended. 4.0/5.0

Shake Shack black and white malted milk shake: A thick, rich milkshake made of high quality vanilla and chocolate ice cream. I love malted milkshakes, and the extra $0.50 for malted is definitely worth it. Needs to be paired with a tall glass of water. Definitely not for the faint of heart but a treat once in a while (it's about 1/3 of your daily calories). 4.0/5.0

Shake Shack Hanukoncrete: This special edition custard from the Shake Shack is available until December 14th and consists of vanilla custard, pieces of donut from The Doughnut Project, and a strawberry syrup, all topped with powdered sugar. The powdered sugar felt like an unnecessary flourish as the dessert was sweet enough without it, but the combination of donut, rich vanilla custard, and sharp and tangy strawberry was surprisingly delicious. The best part was definitely the vanilla custard, which was very smooth. 3.5/5.0
