Shake Shack is bringing its flavor A-game to 2024 with new menu items featuring “swicy” (sweet/spicy) and umami flavors and tastes. The new menu is available in Shacks nationwide this Friday, January 12 for a limited time, but fans can get exclusive early access starting today, January 9 via the Shake Shack app.

On the swicy side, Shake Shack is launching a sweet and spicy Gochujang-glazed chicken sand-wich, topped with a white kimchi slaw made with Portland-based Choi’s Kimchi. On the umami side is the new Korean BBQ Burger, made with savory and salty Korean BBQ sauce on Shake Shack’s 100% Angus beef burger. Whether you opt for swicy or savory, both pair with the new Spicy Korean BBQ Fries and Spicy Korean BBQ Cheese Fries, loaded with kimchi seasoning and served with a side of Korean BBQ sauce.

According to the National Restaurant Association’s 2024 culinary forecast, comfort foods featuring international flavors are expected to increase in popularity this year as a way for consumers to experience new ingredients and unique flavors.
