New Haven Dining Guide 2012: Shake Shack Restaurant Mastermind Danny Meyer Talks Hospitality, Burgers and New Haven

Shake Shack has gone Shack-ademic, opening its very first location next to a university — 986 Chapel St., kitty-corner to Yale’s Old Campus. Shake Shack’s Angus beef is 100 percent natural, vegetarian fed and humanely raised without hormones or antibiotics. Shake Shack’s electric use is offset through wind power and Renewable Energy Certificates. Bottles, cardboard and plastics are recycled. Cooking oil is reused to produce clean energy and kitchen food is composted.
