<\/a><\/p>\nRaise your shakes high! Danny Meyer\u2019s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) will celebrate Shake Shack\u2019s 10th Anniversary with a week-long series of culinary collaborations and birthday bash at the original Shake Shack in New York City\u2019s Madison Square Park, which opened in June 2004.<\/p>\n
Drawing on its fine dining heritage and deep culinary roots, Shake Shack is teaming up with an all-star group of iconic chefs to create five special edition burgers that will be exclusively available at the Madison Square Park Shack from Monday, June 9th through Friday, June 13th.<\/p>\n
Curated by Shake Shack\u2019s Culinary Director Mark Rosati, the line-up of world-class chefs includes Daniel Boulud (Chef\/Owner, DANIEL, Caf\u00e9 Boulud, db bistro, Bar Boulud, Boulud Sud, DBGB, and more), David Chang (Chef\/Owner, Momofuku), Andrew Zimmern (Chef\/Co-Owner, Andrew Zimmern\u2019s Canteen, and Host of Bizarre Foods America on Travel Channel), Daniel Humm (Chef\/Owner, Eleven Madison Park and The Nomad), and April Bloomfield (Chef\/Co-Owner, The Spotted Pig, The Breslin, The John Dory Oyster Bar, Salvation Taco, and Tosca Cafe).<\/p>\n
Throughout the celebratory week, one culinary collaboration burger will be available each day from a different chef. The burgers will sell for $8.50 each, and Shake Shack will donate $1.00 from each burger sold to the Madison Square Park Conservancy and NYC Parks (see below for full details on each burger and their availability).<\/p>\n
On June 12th\u2014Shake Shack\u2019s actual 10th Birthday\u2014the Madison Square Park location will host the Decade of Shack-Fest. Open to the public, it will be a fun-filled, all day celebration (rain or shine) featuring live music from Catey Shaw, The Tall Pines, Cheerleader, Ski Lodge, and Miniature Tigers. As a tribute to the early days of Shake Shack, a special hot dog cart will be on-site serving complimentary \u201cpay what you\u2019d like\u201d Shack-cago Dogs with all proceeds benefiting the park, while supplies last. To help guests work up an appetite (as if that\u2019s needed!), a HENGE concrete ping pong table will be setup on the gravel near the Shack, with Shack paddles and balls readily available for guests to use throughout the day.<\/p>\n
Every birthday party needs a cake, and that\u2019s where Dominique Ansel comes in. A member of the extended Shake Shack family, the inventive pastry chef will craft an epic Shack-inspired cake that will be given out to guests free-of-charge in the early evening, while slices last.<\/p>\n
To wash down all the sweet and savory deliciousness, Shake Shack teamed up with longtime partner Brooklyn Brewery on a special edition collaborative beer called SHACK X IPA. On tap now through Labor Day at all US Shacks, it is a brand new IPA recipe created exclusively for Shake Shack that boasts a hearty reddish-copper hue with hints of caramel and roasted malt. On June 12th at the Madison Square Park Shack only, SHACK X IPA will be served in a commemorative Decade of Shack 16oz. cup that guests can keep. Cheers!<\/p>\n
\u201cWe never dreamed ten years ago that our humble little kiosk would set the stage for where we are today,\u201d said Shake Shack CEO, Randy Garutti. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to collaborate with this extraordinary group of innovative chefs who have changed the world of food, and we\u2019re proud to call them our friends.
