Chinese Cuisine-Inspired Burgers

The Chairman Burger is Crafted by The Chairman and Shake Shack

— July 17, 2019 — Lifestyle
The Chairman and Shake Shack join forces to create a special burger entitled the Chairman Burger, inspired by traditional Chinese flavors. This year marks Shake Shack's first year in Hong Kong and to celebrate the milestone, the franchise works together with a local restaurant to infuse familiar eats with local flavors.

The collaborative burger aims to capture both contributing restaurants' heritage through intricate flavors. The foundation of the recipe is rooted in Shake Shack's signature burger recipe, elevated by Chinese cuisine. It starts with Angus beef grilled before paired with slow-cooked caramelized onions. It continues with pickled radish, butter lettuce, fermented bean sauce, Szechuan peppercorns, and griddled ox tongue. All of this sits in between grilled potato buns and the first 100 customers present at the launch receive a collectible ornament of the collaboration
