The Double ShackBurger from Shake Shack is essentially a heartier, more substantial version of their signature cheeseburger, maintaining the premium quality and classic toppings for which the brand is known.
Here is a description of its components:
* Patties: Two freshly griddled, 100% all-natural Angus beef patties. These patties are famously smashed on the griddle, which creates a deep, rich, caramelized crust (the “Maillard reaction”) on the exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
* Cheese: A slice of creamy American cheese is melted on each patty, creating a double layer of gooey richness that helps bind the two beef layers together.
* Toppings: Crisp, fresh green lettuce and a slice of ripe tomato.
* Sauce: The essential, creamy, and tangy ShackSauce, a proprietary condiment that adds a signature zest to the burger.
* Bun: All the ingredients are sandwiched between a lightly buttered and toasted non-GMO potato bun, which is soft and slightly sweet, balancing the savory, salty nature of the beef and cheese.
The “Double” version is popular because it provides a more satisfying meat-to-bun ratio for those who find the single patty too light, intensifying the rich, salty beef flavor in every bite.
