METAIRIE, LA — The countdown is on! Coming from the west coast, I can attest to the fact that Shake Shack is going to be a great addition to the NOLA foodie scene! 🍔

The chain will be located at 3501 Veterans Memorial Boulevard, at the corner of Severn Ave. The yummy burger joint opens their first Louisiana spot in Metairie in mid-2019!

Their burgers are literally “the jam” and whenever my Father wants to receive a sassy gif, he sends me a photo of his ShackBurger and crinkle-cut fries, all the way from Arizona.
