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.”

My favourite Hong Kong food experience is definitely visiting cha chaan tengs that’s the type of food I crave when I’m away from Hong Kong for longer periods, when I’m stressed out and need a quick binge, or when I’m happy and want something simple.
