Shake Shack Shacktober Fest – PROST!
Fall is the best time of the year, mostly because it starts with Oktoberfest. When I heard the news that Shake Shack was coming to Miami I was there in a second. When I heard that they had a special Oktoberfest menu I nearly jumped out of my seat.
First things first, what would Oktoberfest be without beer? Shake Shack has added a Bavarian-Style Bier to their menu. Fill your Shacktoberfest Bierstein with your choice of Brooklyn Brewery Oktoberfest or Shackmeister Ale. Now, you can’t have a 25oz beer without a Bavarian-Style Soft Pretzel – Toasted Soft Pretzel Topped with Bavarian Spices. I loved that these pretzels were topped with more than just salt, it made them a destination in my mind rather than a “I’m insanely hungry, I’m going to eat the first thing I see” food.
Ofcourse, Shake Shack wouldn’t be themselves if they didn’t have a burger on their Oktoberfest menu. The Brat Burger- Hamburger topped with Usinger’s cheddar-stuffed bratwurst, crispy ShackMeister ale-marinated shallots and cheese sauce. This is a very “manly” burger, if you will. It is massive meaty goodness with a slightly spicy bite from the bratwurst.
My personal favorite was the Bratwurst – Flat top griddled Usinger’s cheddar-stuffed bratwurst, crispy ShackMeister ale-marinated shallots and cheese sauce. Very similar to the burger but so much better! This is just the bratwurst so it lets you focus more on the delicious crispy shallots and cheese sauce. I would order that cheese sauce and poor it all over everything if I could. In fact, you should probably order a side of it to eat with your pretzel!
On to my favorite part to every meal – dessert! So apple strudel, or Apfel Strudel is a popular dessert in Germany. Shake Shack has created an Apfel Strudel shake- topped with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar shortbread, I know – (moment of silence).
Needless to say, Shake Shack has done it again. Do yourself a favor and try out Shake Shack’s Shacktoberfest menu until Sunday October 2nd – PROST!
