# Smokey QSR Sandwiches Shake Shack Debuted Two Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Sandwiches By Colin Smith | Published 2022-05-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-bacon-cheddar References: [brandeating](https://www.brandeating.com/2022/05/shake-shack-welcomes-new-bourbon-bacon-cheddar-burger-and-bourbon-bacon-cheddar-chicken-sandwich.html) & [shakeshack](https://shakeshack.com/home#/?ASD)  Shake Shack announced the release of the 'Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Burger' and the 'Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Chicken Sandwich' as two limited-time offerings on its menu. These items boast the inclusion of Shake Shack's new sauce, 'Bourbon Bacon Jam.' This sauce brings a range of smokey, savory, and sweet flavors to the sandwiches, which diversifies the available flavors at the restaurant. Both sandwiches feature the same sauce and bun, while the chicken sandwich is topped with fried pickles and the burger is topped with crispy fried shallots and 'ShackSauce.' The Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Burger is available at an MSRP of $8.49 USD, while the chicken sandwich variation costs only $8.09 USD. Both items are available nationwide, at participating locations, for a limited time. The items can be ordered either in-store or through the brand's 'Shack App.' Image Credit: Shake Shack ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Limited-time Menu Offerings:** There is an opportunity to create a sense of exclusivity and urgency by offering unique limited-time menu items. - **Unique Sauces and Flavors:** Adding unique and flavorful sauces can help differentiate products and attract new customers. - **Innovative Toppings:** Innovative toppings can give customers a new and exciting experience while enjoying burgers and sandwiches. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can attract new customers and create a sense of urgency by offering unique limited-time menu items. - **Specialty Food:** Specialty food stores and restaurants can attract customers by incorporating unique sauce flavors and toppings to their products. - **Food Delivery Services:** Food delivery services can partner with restaurants to offer exclusive limited-time menu items that customers can only access through their platform. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Barbecue-Themed Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoky-bbq-menu.md) - [Meaty Fried Pickle Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-pickle-bacon-burger.md) - [Spicy Buffalo QSR Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalo-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Spiced Recipe QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-hot-menu.md) - [Barbecue Bourbon QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-bourbon-bbq.md) - [Smoky BBQ QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culvers.md) - [Smoky Sriracha Club Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-cheddar-bourbon-club.md) - [Korean Cuisine QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-kshack-menu.md) - [Deluxe Triple-Bun Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-shack-burger.md)
