Shake Shack: A dream of quality fast food at reasonable prices - review

I’d say Danny Meyer’s dream of quality fast food, served at reasonable prices, has a solid future in Israel.

 THE CHICKEN Shack dish uses an all-natural, antibiotic-free breaded chicken breast, served in one of the toasted potato buns that are a trademark of the franchise, with lettuce, pickles, and a herb mayonnaise.
