Shaking News
What did we tell you? Once Shea is meets the wrecking ball it’s going to be champagne and Kobe beef dogs for Mets faithful. Maybe not exactly Kobe, but grade-D shredded beef patties padded with cardboard fiber filling are going the way of neon silhouettes and purple walls. Good-bye Bubba Burger; hello Pat LaFrieda. A just announced deal by the New York Mets and vendor Aramark with Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group will bring a Shake Shack to the new ball park (though you’ll likely have to get on line in the top of the third to to have any hope of getting food by the seventh-inning stretch). Double header burgers. Six types of dogs. Also a Blue Smoke, too. Now that the Mets are winning they deserve Kansas City ribs and pulled pork. In addition a Meyer-run taqueria and Belgian frites stand are planned. So it might not be the greatest burgers and barbecue to ever hit New York, but it sure beats the monstrosities currently thrust on those who go through all the trouble of trekking out to Willets Point.
