Shake Shack Has Brought Back Its Fan Favorite Korean-Style Menu—And With Brand New Additions

From its humble beginnings as a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park to a full-blown global phenomenon, this fast-casual favorite has racked up accolades left and right–earning spots among the best restaurants in the world and the 100 greatest American restaurants of the 21st century. And yes, it’s *still* serving up some of the best burgers in NYC. We’re talking about Shake Shack, of course. And if one of your New Year’s resolutions involved eating healthier...consider this your official sign to ignore it. The beloved burger chain just announced the return of a fan-favorite: its Korean-style menu. Fair warning–this third run is the biggest one yet, so come hungry! Inspired by the Shack team’s earliest culinary trips to Seoul–when a version of these Korean-inspired bites first hit menus stateside–fans couldn’t get enough and immediately begged for a comeback. Now, those wishes have officially been granted. Bold, craveable Korean flavors are back on the menu...and this time with brand-new additions. In addition to returning favorites, new items include K-Shack Fried Chicken Bites (the first-ever saucy version of the chain’s chicken bites) and the K-Shack Spicy Caramel Shake, a sweet-heat frozen custard that’s unlike anything Shake Shack has done before. The full lineup includes: * K-Shack Fried Chicken Sandwich: antibiotic-free, hand-breaded, whole white-meat chicken breast coated in a spicy-sweet sesame gochujang glaze, topped with fresh scallions and kimchi slaw made with Choi’s Kimchi on a toasted potato bun ($10.49) * K-Shack BBQ Burger: a made-to-order quarter-pound per patty of 100% Angus beef topped with American cheese, crispy sweet onions, fresh scallions and a savory Korean BBQ sauce on a toasted potato bun ($10.49) * K-Shack Spicy BBQ Fries: crispy crinkle cut fries spiced with kimchi seasoning and served with a side of Korean BBQ sauce ($5.49) * K-Shack Fried Chicken Bites: 6 pieces of antibiotic-free, whole white-meat chicken bites coated in a spicy-sweet sesame gochujang glaze, sprinkled with fresh scallions and served with your choice of dipping sauce ($6.49) * K-Shack Spicy Caramel Shake: gochujang caramel frozen custard topped with whipped cream and more gochujang caramel ($6.99) Shake Shack’s Korean-style menu is available exclusively on the Shack App now, and will roll out in stores for a limited time beginning Friday, January 9. If you still need convincing to try the menu, consider this your mic drop moment: Shake Shack was famously a favorite of Anthony Bourdain–who praised it for doing fast food right. If it passed the Bourdain test, it’s more than good enough for us! Source: https://secretnyc.co/shake-shack-korean-style-menu-return-nyc/
