If you're a San Franciscan whose fast food loyalties happen don't align with the In-N-Out fanaticism of the Californian majority, you're in luck. If, say, a certain New York City-based chain is more your jam, you'll be happy to hear that a new Shake Shack location is coming to San Francisco's Westfield Center at Fifth and Market in 2020, as first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.

This location is the second San Francisco one to be announced — firstly, Shake Shack confirmed it was moving into the former Real Food Co. market at 3060 Fillmore St. in Cow Hollow, which is still awaiting permits and has yet to open.

In the greater Bay Area, we also got a Palo Alto location at the Stanford Shopping Station in December 2018, a Larkspur location at Marin County Mart in May, and an Uptown Oakland restaurant soon to come.

If you work in in the area, this means lunch breaks of crinkle fries and black and white shakes are soon to come. Just try to avoid the looks of betrayal from your In-N-Out-obsessed peers as you wolf down your East Coast burger.
