Working in close partnership with Shake Shack’s Culinary Director Mark Rosati, Abergel prepared a special menu built around offerings from his Michelin-starred modern Japanese izakaya restaurant.
“We first met Mark when he started coming to Hong Kong to scout out the city and was planning the opening of the first Shake Shack,” said Matt Abergel. “Mark and his team immediately became regulars of ours at Yardbird. During one of our Chicken and Charcoal launch events in New York, I asked Mark if we could do Katsu Sandos with their potato buns, but he went a step further and offered us space in the West Village Shack. We share a lot of values and we are so stoked to be doing this together with Shake Shack on our 10th year at Yardbird.”

On Sunday at 11 a.m. Shake Shack will host the grand opening of its new downtown Santa Monica location at 501 Wilshire Boulevard.
The new shack is located in the space formerly occupied by Panera Bread and is just a few blocks from the beach, pier, and 3rd Street Promenade. It offers an indoor “garden room” with skylights, an outdoor patio, and a walk-up window.
For every burger sold on opening day, Shake Shack will donate a burger to the Westside Food Bank. In addition, the first 100 guests to place an order will receive a 16 oz custom Shake Shack glass featuring a decal of the Santa Monica Ferris wheel.
