SHAKE SHACK | Now Open!!!

It's spring in New York City and that means that the Shake Shake in Madison Square Park is one again open for business. This joint is one of the best in New York City - and it makes having offices in the 20s/30s tolerable.

I'll go out on limb and say the Shake Shack has one of the finest burgers in the entire city. Couple that shit with some awesome fries and a chocolate "Fuck the diet, I'll binge on cocaine later to lose the weight" shake. So fucking yum.....

***Note to Mom: I'm kidding about the cocaine***

STIPE & BATALI | Sundance Channel, tonight

Joe Berlinger, the creepy documentary film-maker behind Brothers Keeps, the two Paradise Lost films, and Metallica's Some Kind of Monster, has now directed a series for the Sundance Channel called Iconoclasts. The series puts two celebrities together who have some sort of prior relationship and captures them in conversation. Berlinger ends up getting some great and very personal stories out of a lot of usually quiet stars.

Tonight, REM's Michael Stipe chat with his chef friend Mario Batali airs this Thursday at 10pm.

Other episodes have paired Sundance Channel creater Robert Redford with Paul Newman, Fashion designer Tom Ford with artist Jeff Koons, actor Samuel L. Jackson with sports legend Bill Russell, producer Brian Grazer with CEO Sumner Redstone, and CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour with actress Renée Zellweger......
