Did You Know - Shake Shack Edition

10 Things We Never Knew About Shake Shack

4. The ShackSauce Recipe Is Secret . . . . . ish

  • Even though they won't give up the official secret recipe, they give a "close enough" version in the book. Combine ½ cup Hellman’s mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, ¾ tsp. Heinz ketchup, ¼ tsp. kosher dill pickling brine, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Add it to a classic smash burger, and you're in business.

6. Spicy ShackSauce Exists

  • When developing the Chick'n Shack, they thought about making ground chicken burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches, but ultimately Meyer wanted fried chicken—with ShackSauce. They developed a spicy ShackSauce, but it never made it into restaurants because they worried people wouldn't be able to tell the two sauces apart. Instead, they went with a buttermilk ranch for the fried-chicken sandwich that took two years to perfect.

8. There's an Official Shake Ratio

  • If you get a hankering for a shake in the middle of the night, just blend together 1½ cups custard (or your favorite premium ice cream, they say) and ½ cup milk. If you want it flavored, add 2 Tbsp. of your favorite sauce and ⅓ cup milk instead of plain ol' milk.
