Your shittin me. This is a joke, right?
I haven’t heard of them either (or at least it doesn’t register in my mind) but they are all over the world.
Not everybody in this country is born and bred NYC and environs.
This is their own story:
Shake Shack sprouted from a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park in Manhattan to support the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s first art installation. The cart was quite the success, with Shack fans lined up daily for three summers.
This started in 2001! Jeez fella, I was 51 then and STILL haven’t actually seen one even though they are supposed to have one somewhere in Atlanta. We can’t all be so blessed to be from NYC or thereabouts.
