The item: ShackMeister cheeseburger. UPDATE: This special menu item is no-longer secret! It’s available for a limited-time at all U.S. Shake Shack locations!
Where you can get it: All Shake Shack locations
The details:The ShackMeister is a brand new item from Shake Shack, the rapidly expanding and hugely popular New York City-based burger brand. The cheeseburger, which won a recent SOBE Wine and Food Festival Burger Bash, is a cheeseburger topped with ShackSauce (secret recipe, but it’s mayo based and is both sour from pickles and spicy from spices) and crispy ShackMeister Ale-marinated shallots. The ShackMeister Ale is made by the Brooklyn Brewery.
Shake Shack loves off-the-menu items (perhaps you’ve had the grilled cheese made on a Martin’s potato roll?), and likes to live by the “if we can make it, we will” principle.
“Our guests love to customize their food,” said Mark Rosati, Culinary Director for Shake Shack, adding that if they have the ingredients, they will make it happen.

The item: The Quesarito
Where you can get it: All Chipotle locations
The details: The Quesarito is hugely popular and pictures and testimonials can be found all over the internet. It’s exactly what it sounds like, a burrito wrapped in a quesadilla instead of just a plain old tortilla. Double the tortillas, double the fun, right? And you can never go wrong with more cheese. This bad boy is said to pack a whopping 1,500-calorie punch.
