"Taken onboard through a partnership with a major carrier, the chain’s burger—a beef patty on a toasted potato bun—was developed over nearly two years to be offered as a preorder option for first-class passengers and has become the carrier’s top preordered item when available. Delivering a comparable taste at altitude required reverse engineering the recipe and supply chain: patties are cooked on the ground, flash-frozen, and reheated in flight, and airport kitchens were outfitted with specialized bun-toasting and buttering equipment. Flight crews also used in-flight tests to refine service techniques. French fries are notably absent for now because the reheating process makes achieving ideal crispness difficult, though that remains a possibility for the future." - Chris Dong
"I note that public companies like Shake Shack are barred from applying to the revamped PPP, a change designed to direct limited funding toward smaller, independent businesses and underserved communities that were shut out during the first round." - Ryan Sutton
"A global empire of custards and burgers that arguably offers the best vegetarian burger of any chain restaurant, Shake Shack recently jumped into the shallow end of the vegan burger pool with the Veggie Shack. A scratch-made patty of roasted beets, brown rice, and black beans topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard vegan mayo. (Hold the cheese and swap for the gluten free bun to be vegan.) The Veggie Shack is available at select locations, including the UTC mall." - Kelly Bone
"At the beginning of episode 5 of Season 3, Bosch is waiting in line at West Hollywood’s Shake Shack with his daughter Maddie. He says, “this is why I like In-N-Out. You’re in, you’re out.” Maddie tells her dad, “this is way better, trust me.” Always the LA homer, Bosch says, “you love In-N-Out. The animal fries.” “I know,” she says." - Matthew Kang
"'Chick'n Bites' — a limited-time chicken-nugget item — is being rolled out nationwide; after sampling them last fall, a prominent critic called them 'America’s next great fast-food chicken nugget.'" - Whitney Filloon
