I must agree, that doesn't look like the freshest patty in the world. Ground meat should have the same rosy hue as steaks. This also could be fault of the reviewer, though, who may have left the meat out of the cold alittle too long.

What about angus beef implies that it won't make you sick? Knowing the breed of the cow doesn't mean the meat isn't contaminated.

Ah, the Shake Shack ... I've recently been. I was talked into waiting on that crazy line in the heat...for a hamburger. A hamburger that couldn't touch the burgers at the Meridian Hotel, or even Wendy's, which is right across the street from the shack. I thought it was strange that all of the workers in the park on break had Wendy's bags.... now I know. Whoever puts the Shack in their top 10 places to get a burger have either let the hype get to them or have never tasted anything decent. I feel sorry for both kinds of people.

I'd be more worried about how that meat is colored... I've never seen hot pink meat (as seen in the center). It's also multi-colored, which could mean (and looks like) older meat was mixed with fresher meat. Fresh meat has a pink (not hot pink) hue and older meat begins to oxidize. Instead of fat content I'd say the other 20% is coloring-- or mystery bits of meat not bought over the weekend.

ShakeShack - upscale fast food for yuppies (?) at least that what they'd like to think. Afterall, if ya have to wait an hour on line, it must be good, eh?

ShakeShack was uttertly panned by Cuozzo of the Post. I've never been, but I must say, he makes many many compelling arguments NOT to go.

the %age refers to how lean the meat is. 80% ground beef is fattier than 90%, etc. this usually depends on what cut is ground to make the beef.
