As part of Shake Shack’s collab series Now Serving, Shake Shack’s culinary team has joined forces with award-winning, three Michelin-starred restaurateur Dominique Crenn of Atelier Crenn, Petit Crenn, and Bar Crenn to create a one-of-a-kind, limited-time menu item: Dominique Crenn’s Grilled Cheese.

Recently awarded the Icon Award from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, Chef Crenn has created her grilled cheese, incorporating Bay Area-favorite, Bohemian Creamery’s Boho Belle made with organic cow’s milk cheese, Bleu Belle Farm tomatoes, onion jam, atop Tartine Bakery sourdough bread.

Available in limited quantities for one day only on Thursday, September 9, starting at 11:00 AM, at Shake Shack’s San Francisco location in Cow Hollow on Fillmore Street.

“I am a big fan of Shack Shack and jumped at the chance to work with Mark Rosati on the “Now Serving” collaboration series,” said Dominique Crenn. “I’m so excited to share my grilled cheese sandwich with the neighborhood. It will highlight two of my favorite local purveyors – Bohemian Creamery and Tartine Bakery, and showcase the beautiful tomatoes grown in Sonoma at my very own Bleu Belle Farm. I’m very grateful for the inspiration that San Francisco provides me daily and will take this opportunity to also give back to one of my favorite local non-profits, La Cocina.”

Proceeds from the one-day collaboration will be donated directly to La Cocina in support of their newly opened Municipal Marketplace in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. The funds raised on September 9 will go towards the operational support of this amazing addition to the Tenderloin community, supporting and creating economic opportunities to support immigrant women and women-of-color-owned businesses.
