Bbq ShackMeister burger - Shake Shack
Cheeseburger topped with crispy ShackMeister Ale-marinated shallots and Shack bbq sauce. Served with order of French fries. $9.39

Don’t get me wrong, this burger was very tasty but I just wish that the fried shallots weren’t SO greasy! I liked how they tasted but not how they felt in my mouth. Everything else was pretty spot on though! Mmm…

Spicy hot jumbo wings – Red Hot & Blue

Spicy hot jumbo wings - Red Hot & Blue
Served with ranch dressing, celery, carrots. 10 wings $9.50
Red Hot & Blue, Herndon VA

Apparently this place has closed since my visit. I’m not surprised. The food was marginal. I’m not even sure why they called these chicken wings “jumbo” since they were fairly small. They were also over-cooked and dry. The bartender was friendly though.

Thai chili cheddar sausage – Smokestack

Per half pound $12
Smokestack, San Francisco CA

I liked the texture of this sausage. It’s wasn’t too dense so it was a pleasure to eat. I was expecting more heat from the Thai chilis but really didn’t get much heat at all. Overall, the sausage was good but nothing to write home about.
