When famed fine-dining restaurateur Danny Meyer opened a hot dog cart in New York City’s Madison Square Park in 2001, the venture drew legions of customers curious to experience Meyer’s take on all-American street food. The curious became the committed and Meyer’s little experiment acquired a permanent structure in the park – the Shake Shack.
