| Shake Shack menu items like the ShackBurger, the Shack-cago Dog, the Bird Dog, fries and cheese sauce were paired with wines at Danny Meyer's tasting seminar. Not pictured is the custard with key lime pie. |
"We over analyze wine as a condiment," says Meyer. "It's no more mysterious than mayo, mustard, and pickles. It's just another condiment that we enjoy with our food."

| Danny Meyer's comprehensive rating scale for wine and Shake Shack pairings |
Meyer is known for his commitment to consistently great hospitality at his establishments, which he describes in his book, Setting the Table. I mentioned my Christmas wish for a citywide service intervention to Meyer. When I asked him where he's been made to feel most welcome in Miami, Meyer listed Michy's, Sra. Martinez, Michael's Genuine and Joe's Stone Crab. "There's groovy and cool and then there's hospitable. Miami does groovy and cool really well. But I think you can do both cool and hospitable."
