Shake Shack is adding chili to the menu. And, you can order it starting on Monday – three days prior to the new menu item’s official launch.
For a limited time, the chain is serving a chili cheeseburger, chili cheese dog, and chili cheese fries at locations across the US. The chili is made with slow-braised beef, as well as ancho and chile de arbol peppers.
Shake Shack is debuting the chili menu items on Thursday, November 2. However, the chili-themed menu will become available on the chain's app starting Monday, October 30.
Chili on its own won't be on the official menu. However, customers can order a cup of chili as a side as a sort of "secret menu" item.
An early taste test of Shake Shack's chili revealed a meaty, spicy dish. Instead of relying on a soupy mix of beans and beef that you'd find atop a bowling alley chili dog, the slow-braised beef is a hearty addition - especially when paired with the chain's exquisite cheese sauce.
The chili cheese dog in particular is a standout, as the perfect combination of a crisp hot dog, indulgent cheese sauce, and meaty chili.
