"When I heard that Shake Shack was making a black truffle burger, my heart leapt, but then I became skeptical. Would it be made with the awful artificial truffle oil used on french fries and in mac and cheese? That sad imitation tastes nothing like truffles, which have a subtle, woodsy aroma. I needn’t have worried about the oil, because I soon learned the stunt was being done in association with NYC’s Regalis Foods, a purveyor of truffle oil made from actual black Spanish truffles. The burger would be available during the month of December, only at the branch across the street from the Natural History Museum on Columbus Avenue and at the original Shake Shack in Madison Square Park." - Robert Sietsema
