Imagine getting that hot dog or burger craving but then you’ve got to go out and get the components, or your favorite Shake Shack location may be at capacity when you arrive, and the queue for takeaway or car service is longer than you thought it would be. How much easier would it be for your favorite dogs and burgers to come to you? Shake Shack this summer has blown us away with their perfectly packaged and proportioned separate kits for their famous Shack-Cago Dogs and ShackBurgers. As they’ve done all the preparation for you, it’s super easy to enjoy Shake Shack deliciousness at home and to be proud of the meal you produce.
One thing that is noticeable once you’re done cooking and eating is how very simple it is to clear away all the mess, because everything comes already prepped and packed. There are clearly written, and simple instructions in both English and Arabic, and you can scan the QR code on the delivery box to watch a cool video of Shake Shack’s chef preparing the burgers.
You barely need anything to get to enjoy that Shake Shack experience where you are; just a heated surface, butter and something to flip with. Happily, unexpected savings somehow always makes this kind of quality food taste even better, and kits are priced at even better value than eight single purchase items would be for both the Shack-Cago and the Shack Burger.
We started with the Shack-Cago Dog kit first. The Martin’s non-GMO potato buns, already sliced, were still fluffy having been placed carefully into the delivery box. And wonderfully, the hot dog sausages themselves were already split down the middle to give us the ideal flat top experience. With eight dogs in the kit, there was more than enough of the cheese sauce and condiments to be able to slather on so much that it squeezed out over the edges when biting into the dog. Perfection, because you can choose to build it however you like.
Make sure you remember to take out all the cartons so you don’t miss out on the mustard, green relish, tomato sauce and chopped cherry peppers. We overlooked the cherry peppers thinking it was tomato sauce, but on closer inspection realized our error. Thank goodness we spotted it, because adding a dollop of the distinctively flavorsome cherry peppers made the entire Shack-Cago Dog taste experience jump up a notch.
Having merely whet our appetites on the mouthwatering hot dogs, we eagerly unpacked the ShackBurger kit. With super thick patties of 100% Angus custom beef blend these promised to be meaty and juicy, plus the beef is hormone and antibiotic free. We sprinkled on the salt and black pepper seasoning from the provisions, smashed the sizzling patties onto the griddle and beside them placed the pre-sliced Martin’s potato rolls for searing.
A real American cheese slice from the kit bubbled away beautifully on the hot patty and while it was melting, we chose how to build our burger from the ingredients provided of crispy lettuce, ripe Santa tomatoes, and the whole white onion. Mmm, onions fried in burger juices, drool. We topped off the lot with a large spoonful of top-secret recipe ShackSauce as there’s no such thing as too much.
This is the joy of a Shake Shack at home kit, you get every single possible item that you’ll ever need to build the perfect Shake Shack burger of your dreams, or you can keep it classic and exactly replicate eight ShackBurgers, perfect for a family meal, or a socially distanced grill-out.
