Chicago at the Shack of Shake

I took one bite of this "Shack-cago dog" from Shake Shack, just to see what it was about. I've never had a true Chicago dog so I don't know how this one compares, but aside from a glut of mustard, the other additions (relish, onion, cucumber, pickle, tomato, sport pepper, and celery salt) were a pretty good combination with the beefy, juicy sausage and poppy seed–speckled bun.

All in all though, I was much more into the fries, which were perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of hearty potato flavor. I'd had these fries before with cheese on top, but I realized after trying them plain this time—without even ketchup!—that eating them naked is the way to go. Um, the fries I mean.
