The underdog in the fight is New York&#8217;s Shake Shack. Only seven years old, it&#8217;s still a baby in the field, but if we&#8217;re to believe the news, they&#8217;re poised to expand, and in a big way (they just opened their latest location in Washington, D.C. yesterday).<br \/>\nBut who really makes the best burger?
