‘Just what Boston needs …’ Part II
The
Great Shake Shack Controversy hits the
New York Times – and Hub Blog is prominently featured. I await the flood of new readers and private-equity offers to buy my blog, though I hope the due-diligence types don’t notice that I never wrote the quoted remarks attributed to me. …
BTW: Hub Blog wants the record to show I hereby officially oppose Jeff Miller’s Boston-themed 'Common House' eatery. The reason: “Freedom Trail ketchup.” … Are you happy, Mike Ross? See what you’ve unleashed? …
I guess nixing Jeff’s idea makes me profoundly
anti-provincial, hating the Red Sox and Boston’s status as a great ketchup town, etc. …
Adam: "But if we can't overreact to the Times calling a series of closed urinals 'a sacred shrine,' what can we overreact to?" ... Shake Shack and Common House may have a new
‘sleek, European-style’ burger rival for the Pink Palace. …
Scott has additional thoughts on Shake Shack. ...
