PALM BEACH, Fla., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- BurgerFi International Inc. (Nasdaq: BFI, BFIIW)
is adding a specialty milkshake to its' menu that will be a "blast
from the past" for 90's kids. The better-burger concept is
partnering up with General Mills to launch the Dunkaroos Shake in
Miami, Florida and New York City for a limited time. The
nostalgic shake will be available from May
10, 2021 until June 13, 2021,
or while supplies last.
BurgerFi's menu is known for their delicious, beef (without
antibiotics, hormones or steroids) burgers never-frozen fresh- cut
fries and onion rings and their frozen custard shakes and concretes
are a close runner-up in popularity. The secret behind their
scrumptious desserts is the base – custard which is rich and
creamier than ice cream. The Dunkaroos shake uses BurgerFi's
vanilla custards and mixes it with Dunkaroos cookies. Once
the shake is fully mixed, the decadent dessert is topped with
rainbow sprinkles and a even more Dunkaroos cookies. When enjoying
the shake it is suggested to "dunk" the additional cookies into the
shake to go through the original motions of eating the nostalgic
treat. The creaminess of the custard mixed with the chunks of
cookies bites really adds different textures that play off each
other in the shake to create the ultimate Dunkaroos experience.
"BurgerFi loves to take favorites and put a spin on them. We
always are looking on how to elevate our menu items with classic
recipes," says Paul Griffin, BurgerFi's Chief Culinary
Officer. "For the Dunkaroos shake, we took our classic vanilla
shake and added a fun twist to it by combining it with everyone's
favorite '90s snack to allow guests to reminisce back to their
childhood. We wanted to recreate that fun, magical experience
that our guests felt when they opened their lunchbox and saw the
best childhood snack."
Dunkaroos made a huge come back in 2020. The beloved childhood
snack, consisting of cookies and frosting for dunking, was first
introduced in 1992 but was discontinued in the U.S. in 2012, until
it returned in the summer of 2020. Since then, BurgerFi knew they
wanted to partner with the famed cookie treat. This is the first
time the nostalgic snack has ever been in shake form and is truly
the first of its kind.
"We have a young, dynamic team at BurgerFi in the same age range
as many of our guests," said Julio
Ramirez, CEO of BurgerFi. "And Dunkaroos was part of
their childhood. So we're excited about the idea of taking this fun
brand and giving it a BurgerFi twist creating a unique offering
with our better than ice cream custard shakes."
From May 10, 2021 until
June 13, 2021, the Dunkaroos shake
will be available in all Miami,
Florida and New York City
(Manhattan and Brooklyn) locations. For more information and
