Celeb Chefs Create Special Burgers for Shake Shack’s 10th Anniversary

Since opening 10 years ago in Madison Square Park, Shake Shack has dominated New York’s hamburger scene, redefined fast food for a generation interested in higher quality and spawned outposts around the world. Danny Meyer and company are celebrating the anniversary from June 9 to 13, with a series of one-time-only burger collaborations from a showstopping array of guest chefs, including David Chang and April Bloomfield.

Shake Shack now makes burgers as far away as Dubai, but it started out as a hot dog cart. CEO Randy Garutti remembers the early days when they made everything in the super high-end kitchens of Eleven Madison Park. Meyer’s restaurant group doesn’t own the four-star restaurant anymore, but chef Daniel Humm is honoring their shared history. For Shack’s official June 12 birthday, he’ll prepare a fancy black truffle burger. There will also be a hot dog cart in the park for one day only: Customers can pay what they want for a dog, with all proceeds benefitting the Madison Square Park Conservancy.

If you want a burger, you may have to clear your schedule. According to Garutti, the plan is to offer 1,000 burgers a day. “When we run out, we run out. I would show up early.”

And because there is no birthday without a cake, Cronut master and ’shroom burger fan Dominique Ansel will bring one by. Shake Shack culinary director Mark Rosati hinted at its mass: Ansel requires “a four-by-eight-foot table that can hold a massive cake, and at least 12 feet of vertical clearance.”
