Danny Meyer's Secret Sauce

November 5, 2026 · 53 min

Show notes

Danny Meyer is a legend. Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, The Modern. Quintessential New York City restaurants. He is the author of a new book called What Could Possibly Go Right, and he is, of course,the founder and CEO of Shake Shack. Let me get this on record: I am a Shake Shack guy. It’s the perfect burger to me. Shake Shack at the airport is a beacon of hope. Shake Shack is the burger that I eat more than any other burger, and if I could only have one burger for the rest of my life, it would be Shake Shack. So it was an honor to talk to the guy who started it all. I asked him all of my burning questions, from secret menu items, to the deliciously diabolical shack stack, to all the regional delights of St. Louis.
