Shack Shack recently debuted a very exclusive sandwich called the Monteverde Chicken Parm. The catch is that it was only available for one day.
Shake Shack recently teamed up with Sarah Grueneberg, the executive chef and partner of Monteverde. Together, the duo launched a one-day-only collab sandwich, which was exclusively available at the River North Shac location in Chicago. The limited-edition Monteverde Chicken Parm consisted of a crispy chicken breast topped with Monteverde’s spicy tomato sauce, fresh basil, sliced buffalo mozzarella cheese, giardiniera buttermilk mayo, and shredded greens. The whole thing was served on a toasted potato roll.
The Monteverde Chicken Parm sandwich was designed to raise money for a good cause, with all proceeds donated to Inspiration Kitchens, which is a non-profit organization that trains low-income and homeless Chicago residents for careers in the food industry.

- Create limited edition products with partnered companies or individuals for a short period to create exclusivity and excitement among customers.
- Charity Tie-ins
- Partner with a non-profit organization to raise funds for a good cause through the sale of limited edition products.
- Collaborative Menu Items

Sectors Adopting This
- Fast Food

- Charities
- Collaborate with restaurants or food chains to create limited edition products for fundraising initiatives, allowing customers to support their favorite cause while enjoying a unique food item.
- Food Service Training
- Charities or businesses that offer food service training can partner with restaurants to create limited edition products, with a portion of proceeds going towards supporting their cause or training programs.
