Shake Shack’s Rise to Burger Fame
Shake Shack isn’t just another burger joint. It’s a brand with a dedicated following and a reputation for using quality ingredients in making their delicious burgers. But how did a hot dog cart in New York City become a burger giant?
Shake Shack’s story starts in 2001 with Danny Meyer, a well-known restaurateur in New York City. As part of an effort to revitalize Madison Square Park, Meyer set up a hot dog cart to raise funds for a public art project. The cart was named “The Shack,” and it quickly became a local favorite, thanks to its high-quality hot dogs and fun atmosphere. Seeing the success of the hot dog cart, Meyer decided to expand his concept. In 2004, the first permanent Shake Shack opened in Madison Square Park, offering a menu that included burgers, fries, and, of course, milkshakes (hence the name!).
Shake Shack’s focus on fresh, delicious food echoed with customers – their burgers are 100% all-natural Angus beef, and their fries are crinkle-cut and cooked to perfection. Since then, Shake Shack has grown into a global chain with locations in the United States and around the world. But they haven’t forgotten their roots, they still use high-quality ingredients, support local farms, and give back to their communities.

From The Club
Finally, Shake Shack joins the summer fun with their BBQ summer menu! Shack’s may be my favorite out of all the recent releases, as they picked a BBQ-theme and just stick to it throughout the lineup. I honestly can’t wait to pair up Smoky Classic BBQ Burger with the BBQ Cheese Fries, as both give off a classic BBQ-flavor I’m craving for, especially when summer comes.
