It ’s not every solar day that didder Shack launches a new burger or card item ( unfortunately ) , so when the better Warren Burger chain expose that afresh , cheese - sauce covered Sir Francis Bacon cheeseburgeris fall before long , we knew we ’d have to get our backtalk on one ASAP . We finally did precisely that on Thursday , onward of the burger ’s nationwide acquittance on June 3rd .
suitably called theBacon CheddarShack , the new limited - time burger is Shake Shack ’s twist on the classic Francis Bacon cheeseburger and perhaps even theParkBurgerit released last natural spring to celebrate the reopening of its famous Madison Square Park frontier settlement . It ’s super simple : a smashed boeuf burger exceed with Niman Ranch and , most importantly , a ball of Wisconsin senior cheddar cheese sauce , all on a Solanum tuberosum bun . The cheese sauce is the star of show .
Eating it
You ’d think taking your first bite into a beefburger top with cheese sauce would send a greasy , spicy river of the clobber run down your weapons system , right ? luckily , despite the healthy ( haha ) amount of the sauce on the Bacon CheddarShack , this does n’t seem to happen , although we did find a bit had get away into the wax paper wrapper . This is great newsworthiness , because as we mentioned before , the cheese sauce is a downrightstunnerand you ’ll need as much of it in your oral fissure as potential .
Let us it excuse . excite Shack was n’t messing around when they concocted this cheese sauce . It ’s penetrating , creamy , and salty . It bring out the meaty nip of the beef and complement the salty smokiness of the bacon . Somehow , the sauce is n’t overwhelming , and gratefully , it does n’t feel like it ’s coating your oral cavity . And yet , it acts as a bloody good substance glue , keeping the bacon and boeuf together for easy eating .
Oh , and did we note that it ’s piquant ?

Although the Warren Burger is usable as a image for almost $ 3 supererogatory , all the bacon and cheese on a single is probably enough food to do the problem – especially if you order fries , too . contrive in one of the newBlueberry Pie Oh Myshakes or concretes ( also for a limited metre ) , and they ’ll probably have to roll you out of there . That almost pass to us .
The verdict
Before dig in to the Bacon CheddarShack , we sit down down with Shake Shack Culinary Director , Mark Rosati ( figure above ) , who explain why the chain wanted to make a simple Francis Bacon cheeseburger in the first plaza . It turns out the aforesaid ParkBurger was a liberal part of it .
" We wanted to do something a niggling unlike and bring to the talks of what a bacon cheeseburger could be , " he said . " We had so much positive feedback from customers who were sad to see the ParkBurger go , that we think , ' Why do n’t we work something like this to all shacks ? ' "
But what Rosati seemed to emphasize the most is that the Bacon CheddarShack agree into Shake Shack ’s overall desire to make good andsimplefood . Keyword : simple . Because , as he put it , hoi polloi do n’t deal about a complicated listing of ingredients ; they just desire their food to be good .
The Bacon CheddarShack is both elementary and good .
