On March 31, Shake Shack rolled out a Clubhouse Pimento Cheese menu just in time for golfers ready to devour cheap Augusta National-inspired snacks. CEO Rob Lynch, living large in Atlanta among real pimento-lovers, demanded this Southern 'caviar' join the chain's lineup. Featuring a $9.99 quarter-pound burger with its flamboyant cherry peppers and a chicken sandwich that even a pickle-loving fan called 'inhalable', Shake Shack also shoved a $1.99 side of thick pimento cheese at their recently discovered, slightly McDonald's-nostalgic Chicken Bites. The catch? The dip was so dense it needed a fork—proving even food innovation struggles with dignity.
