A Citigroup associate and a JP Morgan analyst put it best: there is no food in midtown that compares to the Shake Shack. It is worth the 20-plus block trek.
Senior Burger/Fries (And Milkshake, If You're Feeling Naughty) Correspondent Scott Bressler and I spent some QT up there today to check out a tip about Credit Suisse associates and analysts sending interns to wait on the arduously long but totally worth it S-Shack line.
One guy who's apparently not above waiting 45 minutes for his 'Shroom burger is newly crowned Credit Suisse chief executive Brady Dougan. We're assuming Brady bought his Diet Dr. Pepper--his noted drink of choice--at the Walgreens across the street. The S-Shack only sells regular DP. (Completely unacceptable. Come on, Danny Meyer, know your c-suite customers!).
We'll be back all next week between the hours of 12-2ish. Join us, and we'll all get lunch on Carney.

Walk 20 blocks and wait 45 minutes in line? That's just a joke right?

The intern is earning his keep. I see a bright future for Scott. First the breasts expose now paparazzi action of Dougan, brilliant!

I can't believe I'm writing these words, but it's almost as if Bressler is trying to make Bess look bad.

sounds like the Besster and the Bressler are tag-teaming this one...knowing Bess and knowing what we know about Bressler (the breasts), this can only bring glorious things.

I worked at a hedge fund staffed up with piles of ex-CSFB guys. The drink of choice at the firm (free drinks + food of course) was diet Dr. Pepper. That stuff went like hotcakes. so now, every time i crack into a Diet Dr. P I know I am in good company..!

"Walk 20 blocks and wait 45 minutes in line? That's just a joke right?"
You have to live near the Shake Shack to believe it, but these figures are perfectly accurate.
