Shake Shack's New 'Roker Burger' Honors Al Roker

— August 23, 2016 — Lifestyle
Popular burger chain Shake Shack recently decided to honor the TODAY show's weather anchor Al Roker with a specialty burger called the 'Roker Burger.' Not only does the custom burger give fans a fun way to pay tribute to the famed weatherman, but a portion of the proceeds will also help support a good cause.

The Roker Burger consists of an all-natural Angus beef patty topped with two slices of American cheese, pickles, red-eye mayo, pulled pork and Niman Ranch BBQ. The burger will be available at all Shake Shack locations across the US and $1 from each burger sold will support the charity 'No Kid Hungry.' Other TODAY show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer will also be creating their own specialty Shake Shack products to raise funds for the charities of their choice.
