The Bay Area gets its first taste of Shake Shack this Saturday, December 15 — opening day for the New York-based burger darling’s Palo Alto location. There, at the Stanford Shopping Center (180 El Camino Real, Suite #950), customers can sample established favorites like the ShackBurger (with the chain’s recognizable crinkle cut fries), flat top hot dogs, and frozen custard concretes, plus new items developed specifically for the Bay Area market.

Those offerings include a new burger ode to the Bay, the Golden State Double. Shake Shack culinary director Mark Rosati worked with Oakland-based meat purveyor Cream Co. to source the burger: Two angus beef patties from Richards Grassfed Beef with white cheddar cheese and McVickers bread and butter pickles served on a Tartine Bakery sweet potato bun.

Other local creations include three custard concretes: The MB Malt​​, with vanilla custard, Manresa Bread whole wheat chocolate chip walnut cookies, and fudge; the Shack Attack​​, with chocolate custard, fudge sauce, chocolate truffle cookie dough, Dandelion dark chocolate chunks, and chocolate sprinkles; and the Pie Oh My, with vanilla custard and a slice of seasonal pie from Fremont bakery Pie Dreams. To give back, five percent of sales from that last concrete go to SF food incubator La Cocina.

The 2,491 square-foot Palo Alto Shake Shack features indoor and outdoor seating on a covered patio. CounterEv Furniture built the location’s tabletops from old bowling alley lanes, chairs are from designer Uhuru, and booths were built by Staach from sustainable lumber.

The Bay Area is also on display on Shake Shack’s beverage list: There’s wine from Robert Sinskey Vineyards, Broc Cellars, and and BREA Wine Co., and beer from Fort Point, 21st Amendment, and more.

In 2004, restaurateur Danny Meyer spun the first Shack Shack off from New York fine dining temple Eleven Madison Park. Since then, the chain has expanded to more than 200 locations in 26 states (and 70 outposts internationally).

While the Bay Area has languished behind the pack with no Shack of its own, it’s now making up for lost time. Next up are locations in San Francisco and Marin (opening dates TBD). And with Palo Alto serving the first Shake Shack burger on a Tartine bun, the Bay is basically back on the culinary forefront.

Shake Shack Palo Alto hours are 11 a.m to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
