In Videos: How the Shake Shack Makes Its Burgers
re: the Kansas City comment. This is how Winstead's (http://aht.seriouseats.com/tags/Missouri look at the bottom of the page) has made their burgers since 1940. Worth the trip.

Propaganda!
I was at the shack tonight and the scrapper thing is BS, they use it like all the rest of the burger joints, as a grill cleaner.
They did the press, then they used the spatulas to release and turn the burgers. I saw them do it without the scrapper thing for at least a hundred patties.
Still a damn good burger!
Oh, try the cheese fries they are something SPECIAL!

Wow, why can't I get them here in Wales??? Shall have to make my own - is there anything in the meat mixture apart from meat?

Yeah. Don't know how SSUWS does it, but you *can* get pickles and (raw, chopped) onions with yr burger, but, at least at MSP, they give them to you in little take-out condiment containers and you have to put them on yourself. I swear there was a point when they actually did it for you when ordered. To me, this tells me that the burgers aren't cooked to order and are just sitting there at "standard level" -- like if you bought an economy car and then had to put in a stereo yourself.

@cpalms: You're right. I should have captioned that photo (and just did) -- it's just to illustrate the patty sear and is not a SS burger. It's from Bobo's Drive-In in Topkea, Kansas.

@ cpalms: You can most definitely order pickles on a shake shack burger. My mom did yesterday at the UWS location

The Shake Shack burger is my favorite in the city, but I still can't forgive them for not having fried onions, an essential part of my all time favorite burger.
The Shake Shack burger comes pretty damn close in every other respect though.
Thanks for posting this!

@foodinmouth: Good theory. I wonder if they view the smashing as integral to the burger prep, in which case they'd have to start with a ball rather than a patty.

looking at the way the patties are refrigerated...
i wonder if the ball form is meant to reduce surface area-to-air contact to prevent any kind of drying out in the fridge. because when you flatten it, there's much greater surface area for contact for air molecules.
