Shake Shack

If the wait at highly anticipated Mile End Delicatessan is too long (half an hour!) and you can't stay but have to leave with the mouth watering scent of smoked meats trailing you out the door, then only the next best thing will do. Which is why we walked 10 minutes back north to Shake Shack. Where we also had to wait in line, but luckily they are a well oiled machine of burger producing delight and we were not even all that late to our 2pm meeting.
