The Penn Quarter joint's Tap Burger satisfies our requirements – it's a perfectly decent and acceptable beef-and-bread combo – but we were more impressed with the side items we took down during our visit.

Starting Friday, the special spuds come out at Shake Shack when the annual "When Irish Fries Are Smiling" return to the scene for St. Patrick's Day.

At 11 a.m. Monday, the NYC burger slingers' fifth Washington, D.C. area location opened on the brand new terrace at Tysons Corner, bringing the ShackBurger to the commonwealth for the very first time

Say goodbye to Shake Shack's crinkle cut fries, D.C., they're about to be kicked to the curb.

Wherever we go, we look for burgers. It's just a fact of our greasy, perpetually-hungry lives. And while our day-to-day adventures are through the streets of the D.C., when we head out of town, our mission doesn't end at the border.

We just couldn't bring ourselves to order the de facto April BOTM from BGR. So instead we present to you BGR's April Burger of the Month, Burger Days style: the Beef Cobb.

The Crew is done turkey'd out. After our experiences with the turkey BOTMs earlier this month and the onslaught of the poultry during Thanksgiving (And the day after. And the day after that...etc.), we needed a hefty dose of red meat to keep us sane.

I'd heard the stories of Shake Shack for years.
