We're sure the lines will be epic, but if you're willing to brave them, West Hollywood's Shake Shack is giving out free burgers to the first 100 people to show up on Tuesday, August 16. Shake Shack, the East Coast burger chain that finally came to L.A. in March, is celebrating the launch of their 100th outpost. This particular Shake Shack is located in Boston, though L.A. will soon see more in Glendale, Century City, downtown L.A. and Hollywood. Shake Shack's very first location opened in Madison Square Park in New York in 2004.
To commemorate this event, the burger joint will be giving 100 free ShackBurgers to the first 100 people to come to their WeHo location on Tuesday, August 16, beginning at 10:30 a.m. If you've never had the ShackBurger, it consists of a burger patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a potato bun.
For more NYC food deals, this is your reminder that IT'SUGAR in Santa Monica will be serving up free XL Gummy Shakes from Black Tap from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 13. These shakes are monstrous, with loads of candy and other confections packed on top of and around the actual shake.
Shake Shack is located at 8520 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
