A Star For Shake Shack; Tavernita in Chicago

Pete Wells reviewed the Brooklyn location of the fast food chain Shake Shack, noting "Yes, I would give stars to a hamburger stand. No, probably not four stars." Julia Kramer ponders bar/restaurant mashups at Tavernita in Chicago. Jay Rayner finds a real stinker at Novikov in London: "In a city with a talent for opening hateful and tasteless restaurants, Novikov marks a special new low."
