Shake Shack Opens its Highly Anticipated Downtown Portland Restaurant April 24 | Eater Portland

"Portland fans of Shake Shack’s burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and frozen custard won't have to wait much longer: the New York–founded chain, created by Danny Meyer, will open a downtown Portland location on April 24 at 1016 W Burnside Street, along SW 10th Avenue and West Burnside directly across from Powell’s City of Books. The restaurant will include a courtyard with outdoor seating and a ping pong table, and diners can order from kiosks or pre-order through the restaurant’s app. The fast-casual menu centers on burgers made with Angus beef or fried portobello mushrooms, plus chicken, hot dogs, milkshakes, and frozen custard; certain Shake Shacks serve location-exclusive items, and culinary director Mark Rosati hinted the Portland spot will have its own surprises, saying they’re “like kids in a candy store” and that the team wants to reflect their love for Portland and build something super custom. The chain began in Madison Square Park in 2004 and has expanded to over 400 locations worldwide, with its first Oregon presence opening in 2021 at Cedar Hills Crossing in Beaverton." - Janey Wong
