The tantalizing new burger will give those in New York a chance to sample one of Los Angeles' most sought-after dishes. The new Son of a Gun Chick'n Shack burger is a limited-edition dish crafted by Son of a Gun chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo. The burger is designed to mimic the chefs' highly sought after chicken sandwich, which is slow-cooked in buttermilk, dipped in batter and then coated with a seasoned flour just like the normal Shake Shack recipe. The chicken is then topped with a [spicy pickle slaw](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-fried-pickles) and rooster aioli for a tangy twist on a classic chicken sandwich. Only available at Shake Shack's original Madison Square Park location for a single day, the delicious new burger helps bring a taste of Los Angeles to the Big Apple. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Collaborative Chef-crafted Burgers:** Opportunity for restaurants and food brands to collaborate with renowned chefs to create limited-edition specialty burgers. - **Limited-edition Dishes:** Growing demand for limited-time menu items that create buzz and excitement among customers. - **Regional Food Exchange:** Opportunity for restaurants in different cities to showcase dishes from other regions, offering customers a taste of something new and unique. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can partner with local chefs to create unique and exclusive menu items, enhancing customer experience and attracting new clientele. - **Fast Food Industry:** Fast food chains can create limited-time menu items in collaboration with well-known chefs, generating hype and increasing foot traffic to their locations. - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels and resorts can offer guests the opportunity to try regional specialties from across the country, providing a unique and immersive dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gourmet Collaboration QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-x-ikoyi.md) - [Deluxe Triple-Bun Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-shack-burger.md) - [Smokey QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-bacon-cheddar.md) - [Meaty Fried Pickle Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-pickle-bacon-burger.md) - [Barbecue-Themed Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoky-bbq-menu.md) - [Korean Cuisine QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-kshack-menu.md) - [Exclusive Smashburger Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-frites-burger.md) - [Anniversary-Commemorating Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-370.md) - [Thai-Inspired QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anglothai.md)
