Man, I bet there are some food scientists or people with similar educational backgrounds who would be content to do the job for a mere £300,000.

That photo makes me want to start a Campaign for Reasonable Sandwich Engineering.

Are you sure "The Eaten Path" isn't a blog about interior design?

This picture needs an object in it to establish scale, like a soda can or a quarter or a human climbing up the side of the beef.

I think it's real, if only because the timing is so off. In other words, it's not good enough to be fake.

Thanks! I enjoy this "behind the scenes" stuff.

If you're standing in line when Shake Shack is supposed to close, are you still guaranteed to place an order?

I don't think I've tried one of these, but eating food that looks like other, vastly different tasting food seems weird to me. It's putting your senses (visual versus taste) in conflict.

@Uglycuss: After eight years of a Republican-managed Department of Agriculture, which actually spent public money on a trial to prevent a beef producer from testing beyond the minimum standards, I can see where a lack of trust would develop.

I predict that because of the planning (more griddle space for faster throughput, shack layout to snake the line), the line will not spill out into the street, and for that reason alone some people will assume that the UWS location is less successful and that the burgers must not be as good, even though they will be serving more burgers than at the Madison Square Park location.
