You've encouraged me, before, to get into baking, so... do I spread my wings and start baking my own bread, or do I remain dependent and keep relying on you?<br /><br />Adolescence is so confusing. <i>What are these hairs?</i>Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-34801247454676878002018-07-22T14:34:40.611+09:002018-07-22T14:34:40.611+09:00"Do you still have to wait in a long line to ..."Do you still have to wait in a long line to get a damn burger? Can any burger be worth that long of a wait?"<br /><br />I haven't been to the one in Gangnam, but I was at one near 가로숫길, and although I didn't get a burger there (we just got a milkshake), it wasn't a long wait at all. So I would guess that the first answer to your question is "no."<br /><br />Incidentally, that is also the answer to your second question.<br /><br />(Oh, and something I didn't mention in my first comment... next time you want to do bread, come to your friend who has been making bread for over a decade now!)Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-71092480766310356162018-07-22T04:22:07.311+09:002018-07-22T04:22:07.311+09:00I haven't been to any of the branches, especia...I haven't been to any of the branches, especially not the one that opened (last year?) in Gangnam. Do you still have to wait in a long line to get a damn burger? Can any burger be worth <i>that</i> long of a wait?<br /><br />My involvement with the Shake Shack burger comes courtesy of Kenji Lopez-Alt of Serious Eats, who has a couple videos and articles about the Shake Shack way of making the sauce and the smash burgers. We'll see how my project goes, although I can already say that my choice of the "milk bun" is going to separate me from authentic Shake Shackitude. But if, in the end, it's the taste that matters, then I don't see my choice of bun as tragic. I think it'll all work out.<br /><br />(I could also add sesame seeds to the buns via egg wash, sprinkled seeds, and a quick trip to the broiler, but we'll see.)Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-85651694701019723822018-07-21T20:54:35.348+09:002018-07-21T20:54:35.348+09:00I was at Shake Shack a few times last year.

Definitely not bad, and good enough that we went more than once, but not so good that we ever thought, "Oh, man, we <i>gotta</i> go to Shake Shack!" All in all, I think I preferred Five Guys.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck, you crazy cooking bastard.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
