Having absolutely nothing to do with an already-established burger operation chain or nationally lauded shake/burger chain (seriously!), brgr:shack is prepping mouth-watering shakes 'n patties from a minimalist mess hall fronted by a garage door that, when opened initiates a temp regulating/bug-warding "air curtain", which is also what should be pulled on anyone trying to place a similarly constituted guitar. Grass-fed signature burgers include "Blue Fever" with caramelized onions/ red wine-sauteed mushrooms/ blue cheese, the "Fire Me Up" with guacamole/ jalapeno/ pepper jack/ chipotle sauce, and the "Yum" with avocado, brie, and "shack wasabi", which unlike Shaq wasabi, won't reward any attempt at dunking with an embarrassing rejection. Face-stuffing complements include fresh-cut potato fries (or sweet potato wedges) that're washed/ chopped/ blanched in the morning before being fried to order (with optional herb and cheese additions), classic shakes (currently vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry), and cupcakes like Red Velvet, or "Chocolate Chocolate" -- also Val Kilmer's answer to questions like "What sorts of projects are you into these days?", and "Sir, do you know where you are right now?".
