Review: Shake Shack's Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake Gets Luxury Right - Tasting Table
Briefly

Shake Shack has introduced the Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake, inspired by a viral chocolate bar from Dubai, debuting on April 7 at select U.S. locations. The shake is a reflection of Shake Shack's commitment to quality, as executive chef John Karangis highlights the focus on elevating the fast-food experience rather than just profit. This strategy shifts emphasis from revenue-generating items to offering indulgent culinary experiences, even test running this special shake in New York to ensure satisfaction. It's an indulgence worth seeking out, following its warm reception in Dubai.
While the burger chain isn't necessarily losing money on these drinks, it definitely opted for costlier quality over more profit and is limiting the distribution to ensure freshness and satisfaction.
It isn't a revenue generator for us, comparing it to the brand's frequent truffle burger offerings, where the main goal is to bring something elevated into the fast food space.
Shake Shack's Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake recreates the viral Dubai chocolate bar, which debuted around 2021, but became famous worldwide around the spring of 2024.
I resolved to try it for myself, drinking as much shake as required to fairly assess it, and then drink a lot more if I liked it, because I am a glutton.
