Shake Shack UK is collaborating with John Chantarasak, chef and co-founder of AngloThai on a special, one-day menu that combines the creative ethos of both restaurants. The collaboration features two items that are a twist on beloved Shack classics – the AngloThai Burger and Laab Spiced Fries.
AngloThai Burger
Aberdeen Angus beef burger fried in red curry paste, topped with ox tongue glazed in scallop roe & smoked chilli jam, wild garlic and green olive purée, som tam infused pickles, served on a toasted potato bun brushed with spiced honey butter.
Laab Spiced Fries
Crinkle cut fries seasoned with AngloThai’s laab spice blend, topped with fermented yellow soybean mayonnaise and wild garlic sweet chilli relish.
“As a long-time admirer of Shake Shack, I’m thrilled to be creating my very own burger and fries that showcase the bold flavours and ingredients we like to cook with on our menus at AngloThai.”
Chantarasak
“I’m a big fan of the mustard-fried burger technique seen in America and wanted to take inspiration from this by frying beef fat red curry paste into the burger patty as it sizzles on the plancha, giving a rich and warming flavour to the meat. I’m also grilling slices of beef tongue and glazing them in a Thai-style chilli jam made from roasted chillies and smoked scallop roes, giving the burger deep umami and celebrating a lesser used, but very delicious cut of beef. I’m super stoked with our fries that are seasoned with an AngloThai laab spice blend before topping with an emulsion of yellow soybeans and a condiment of wild garlic and fermented green chilli. I’m sure fans of AngloThai and Shake Shack are going to love the AngloThai Burger and Laab Spiced Fries.”
“We’ve long admired what John and his wife, Desiree, have strived to achieve with AngloThai, so we couldn’t be more excited to be working with John in showcasing his delicious, innovative flavour combinations to our UK fans,”
Jim Frisch, Culinary Director at Shake Shack
As part of Shake Shack’s mission to Stand for Something Good, a commitment to support and invest in local communities, 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.
