Do you love burgers? What about Thai food? What about knowing that simply by eating some delicious food, you’re raising money for charity? If you said yes to all of these (and who wouldn’t?), then you’re going to want to make a beeline for Shake Shack’s Covent Garden location next Friday. That’s because Shake Shack is teaming up with the Michelin-starred team from AngloThai on an exciting new offering to raise money for London food charity, Grow.
For one day only (July 11), the Covent Garden Shake Shack menu will be accented by some proper Michelin-star-quality grub. AngloThai chef and co-founder John Chantarasak has created two special items that boldly reimagine the Shake Shack burgers and fries we all know and love. Hungry burger fans will be able to chow down on these treats from 12pm until they sell out. And we don’t think that will take long at all – so be sure to get down early!

Shake Shack x AngloThai burger and fries
Chantarasak has taken the Shake Shack burger and used it to “showcase the bold flavours and ingredients [they] like to cook with on our menus at AngloThai”. The AngloThai Burger flips everything about the burger on its head and blasts it with flavour.
The Aberdeen Angus beef burger is fried in red curry paste before being topped with ox tongue glazed in scallop roe & smoked chilli jam. This is joined by wild garlic and green olive purée and som tam infused pickles. All of that is then nestled inside one of Shake Shack’s potato buns, brushed with spiced honey butter.

But you’ll need some fries with your burger, right? Complement it with the tongue-attacking Laab Spiced Fries. Shake Shack’s iconic crinkle cut fries are seasoned with AngloThai’s laab spice blend, before being topped with fermented yellow soybean mayonnaise and wild garlic sweet chilli relish. It’s spicy, funky, sweet, sour, and all around delicious.
In keeping with “Shake Shack’s mission to Stand for Something Good®… net proceeds from the special menu will be donated to GROW, an agroecological farm dedicated to enriching the lives of students of The Totteridge Academy and wider Barnet community.” So, not only will the food taste great, but you know it’s doing good too.
🍔 The Shake Shack x AngloThai menu will be available at Shake Shack Covent Garden on Friday, July 11. It will be on sale from 12pm until sold out.
