Pie and custard together at last.
Shake Shack has a knack for joining forces with local businesses for some pretty sweet creations and their latest is nothing short of awesome.
Beginning today Shake Shack (Center City, University City and King of Prussia locations) are teaming up with South Street pie emporium, Magpie for a limited run concrete. Shake Shack culinary director Mark Rosati reached out to Magpie owner/pie mistress Holly Ricciardi and together the pair came up with a very springy idea — a vanilla custard based concrete that mixes in a slice of Ricciardi's lemon curd pie along with a handful of fresh raspberries. The Magpie concrete is only available for ten days beginning today and running until April 6.
