Tonight is the night…

So tonight, settling an old score, I’m finally trying my first cheeseburger at JG Melon’s.

Let’s remind you who the competitors are… in one corner:

JG Melon’s

• One of GQ’s 20 hamburgers you must eat before you die
• Preferred by Mike
• Notsomuch with the health inspectors
• 1,813 people in the JG Melon’s Facebook group:

• Preferred by Andy:Andy: melon by a few orders of magnitude
  shake shack is glorified mc donalds

Shake Shack

• Higher rated on Zagat
• Best Burgers by NYMag’s Restaurant Critics
• Preferred by Karen (in case you didn’t know)
• Doing much better with the Health Inspectors
• A Hamburger Today gave them a 9 (v. a 6 for Melon’s)
• Preferred by pigeons and squirrels
• 2,017 are fans of Shake Shack on Facebook:

So get ready, because this time tomorrow, I’ll have experienced both and will be prepared to offer my assessment on which is better.  Only one serves milkshakes though…
