New York's Shake Shack fails health inspection

shake shack, new yorkIf you find yourself in the Southeast corner of Madison Square Park in New York City, you might have seen a line snaking back and forth and around corners. This would have been the line for Shake Shack, a tiny joint that serves up burgers, fries and shakes that has an almost cult-like following.

However, you might not see that line anymore, as Eater reports that the restaurant has received a score of a whopping 140 points and 15 violations in its July health inspection. According to Gawker, that makes Shake Shack the second dirtiest place to eat in New York.

Sure, we understand bad equipment, perhaps a faulty thermometer in keeping food at the right temperature, but cross contamination? In a place that serves meat? Ugh. But nothing beats vermin infestation. You could grab a latte at Starbucks, a burger from Shake Shack, and get your complete recommended daily intake of bugs in one meal. Blech.
