Shake Shack knows how to make burgers fairly well, and chicken extremely well, but what about breakfast?
Only six of the chain's 110 locations worldwide serve breakfast — and luckily for Business Insider, four of them are in New York City.
We went to the closest one at Fulton Center — the others are at JFK Airport, Grand Central Station, and Penn Station — to find out if the famous burger shack knows how to serve up breakfast, too.

The Shake Shack breakfast menu is small and simple: sausage, egg and cheese sandwich; bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich; and an egg and cheese sandwich. You can order one or two eggs on each, with two eggs costing a little extra.
First off, the egg and cheese. Perhaps the most humble of all breakfast sandwiches, the egg and cheese holds no pretense or airs — it merely... is. I notice that the bun is just that: a bun. Using the classic potato bun also used on the burgers and chicken sandwiches is an interesting move.
And it ends up being a good move, at that — the soft potato bun translates to breakfast flavors remarkably well. One bite in, and one immediately realizes that this is a step above any normal fast-food breakfast sandwich. The fried egg is real — that's right, a real egg, no glutinous swatch of pale yellow. The yolk reaches the sweet spot between runny and firm, and the cheese is rich and velvety.
