Happy hump day loves! This week's fun event was sponsored by Yelp, Midtown, Shake Shack, and Sal Y Mar. The dress was casual for the evening so I went with jeans and a simple crop. Right now the weather is cooling down here in Tampa and it can be humid some days, but for the most part enjoyable. Below you find photos from the event which highlights the new Shake Shack menu additions which are available as of the 15th of October and they will be available until January 2022.

The first part of the event started at Shake Shack
Midtown
So, in case you weren't aware this is the new Shake Shack in Midtown Tampaa. Their grand opening was only a few months ago (you can find that blog post here). Well, Last year Shake Shake tested some new menu items only in five restaurants in certain states and they did well! One of those items being the Michelin star Chef created Truffle burger. Yes, I said truffles! Shake Shack's Black Truffle Burger features a grilled beef patty, gruyere cheese, black truffle sauce, and crispy-fried shallots on a toasted potato bun. The black truffle sauce in both the burger and the fries is made with Regalis brand Organic Black Truffle Arbequina Oil (which, is also made with Spanish black truffles and California extra virgin olive oil).
So, I know you are all wondering is this gluten free or even gluten friendly. This is what I know, like all of their burgers you can get it protein style which is lettuce wrapped (this is my preference). They do have a gluten free bun, but it could become cross contaminated so if you are a Celiac it is not recommended.
The new Parmesan Garlic Fries with Black Truffle Sauce are the chain's standard crinkle-cut fries, but they are topped with garlic parmesan cheese and served with black truffle sauce for dipping. The French fries do not have a dedicated fryer and they are not recommended for anyone who has Celiacs Disease. Therefore, I could not eat any of the items offered in this portion of the event, everything contained gluten. However, hubs got my leftovers and he said "That burger was damn good".
Their new menu and the items which we had avaailable to us for the evening:
- Black Truffle Burger: a gruyere cheeseburger with real black truffle sauce and crispy shallots sandwiched between a toasted potato bun for $8.79
- Parmesan Garlic Fries with Black Truffle Sauce: crispy crinkle cut fries topped with garlic parmesan cheese and served with a side of real black truffle sauce for $4.79

Welcome Sangria's at Sal Y Mar Rooftop
Midtown
Like Shake Shack, Sal Y Mar just opened this year (you can find that original blog post here). Sal Y Mar will transport you to Tulum, Mexico as soon as you arrive at the rooftop bar with chic and sexy decor. They boast their rooftop view of downtown and pretty much everywhere in this restaurant is Instagrammable, oh yes!
