Grace Dean smiling while holding a Shake Shack burger that has been bitten into
  • I ate at Shake Shack for the first time. My friend and I spent $57 on burgers, fries, drinks, and frozen custard.
  • My vegan burger tasted delicious and I'd definitely order the frozen custard again.
  • But I was disappointed by the cheesy fries and my friend had expected a bigger burger.

I'd heard good things about Shake Shack, the burger and frozen custard chain that started life as a hot dog stand in New York City.

My friend gushed about its cheesy fries after returning from New York, and I'd seen billboards advertising its delicious-looking vegan crispy shallot burger.

So I decided to give it a try.
