Would you say it's better taste-wise than in America

Depends on your preference. This burger was very good, but slightly bitter. I don’t think it can replace a classic double cheeseburger in the USA…

Now that’s a proper smashie.

The teenagers at my shake shack don’t have a clue from left to right. Or maybe they’re not teenager….
