Shake Shack’s Okay-Shack BBQ Burger
incorporates a quarter-pound Angus beef patty (or two or three), American cheese, crispy-fried candy onions, recent scallions, and Korean BBQ sauce, served on a toasted potato bun.
I went with a double-patty model, which prices $14.29, however made use of the present BOGO deal.
Oddly sufficient, the Double Okay-Shack BBQ Burger delivered to thoughts McDonald’s McArch, which I attempted (and reviewed) not too long ago. Each burgers sport a half-pound of beef and a powerful onion presence (each function crispy onions, however the McArch has slivered white onions whereas the Okay-Shack comprises scallions/inexperienced onions).
Maybe getting the double patty was the improper approach to go, because the Korean BBQ sauce got here in as a lightweight contact right here. The only-patty model might need been a greater showcase for it. In case you’re pondering that the sauce would have extra of a candy and tangy bulgogi or American BBQ really feel, you may be upset. The burger’s Korean BBQ sauce was extra of a savory sauce with a base of what I’d guess to be fermented beans (however not spicy like gochujang). There have been some gentle sweet-and-tangy notes, however the sauce was largely savory. It was good sufficient, however I would not name it a Korean BBQ sauce, as I do not suppose I’ve encountered the same taste at any Korean BBQ restaurant.
The meat was plentiful with a rough grind and crispy crust. It was flavorful and juicy. The cheese was creamy and completely melted.
The onions had been candy and crispy, including one other layer of crunch and taste. The scallions had been surprisingly sturdy in taste. I am used to them being milder, however they positively punched about their weight right here.
The potato bun was comfortable with out a lot spring to it. It virtually wrapped the burger’s fillings as I used to be consuming.
Total, Shake Shack’s Okay-Shack BBQ Burger was a well-executed burger with a premium really feel in each style and texture. That being mentioned, it is fairly costly (I am unsure I might get it with out a low cost) and a bit weak on the Korean-style theme entrance (which actually simply quantities to the sauce and scallions).
