Customers review Shake Shack's newest menu items
Published: Updated:
Shake Shack is celebrating National Hot Dog Day early with its first-ever Dog Days hot dog menu. The restaurant chain's lineup of limited-time $4.99 to $7.99 Flat Top Dogs has left fans and experts impressed. Described as this year's 'best fast food,' Shake Shack's latest offerings are the Angus Beef Chili, Angus Beef Chili Cheese, Classic, Crispy Onion Cheese, Fried Pickle, and High Heat dogs.
The menu also comes with another limited-time special, two classic or limited-time hot dogs for $8 now through August 11. Shake Shack has been coming for fast food empires all year since announcing its plans to open at least 1,500 new restaurants .
Despite being dubbed the nation's most expensive fast-food chain , prices aren't stopping social media users from planning to try every hot dog on the menu. 'Oh man I am a sucker for some great hotdogs!,' food blogger Snackbetch wrote on Instagram .
'Only makes sense since shake shack started as a hot dog business,' another person responded. The Fried Pickle hot dog is a popular must-have offering social media users have been excited to try.
Topped with fried pickles, bacon and cheese, food critic Bailey Fink of Allrecipes insisted the pickles are what took the offering 'up another notch.' She also enjoyed the High Heat Dog, which features cheddar and American cheese with a blend of cayenne, garlic and paprika topped with peppers.
'It's the perfect balance of heat with a good amount of cheese to cool things off — and it has a nice crunch from the actual peppers themselves,' she wrote. Instagrammers were also 'highly intrigued' with the Angus dogs, mainly because of the chili.
Shake Shack is on the small side compared to its competitors with over 500 locations worldwide. It's on track to open 80 to 85 units in the US this year, and its first loyalty program got off the ground in May. When its burgers aren't in restaurants, they can be found on plates served to first-class Delta fliers.

US and EU strike trade deal on tariffs after 'tough negotiations'
Update: Date: 18:37 BST Title: US-EU strike trade deal Content: US President Donald Trump has struck a trade deal with the European Union following meetings with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. Stay with us as we bring you the details. Update: Date: 18:23 BST Title: Why are the US-EU trade ties so important? Content: Goods and services exchanged between the United States and European Union forms one of the world's largest trade relationships. They are each other's largest trade and investment partners. Total trade in goods between the EU and US totalled an estimated $975.9bn (£751.4bn) in 2024. Together, they account for almost a third of global trade in goods and services. Last year the US imported about $606bn (£451bn) in goods from the EU and exported around $370bn (£276bn). That imbalance, or trade deficit, is a sticking point for Donald Trump. He says trade relationships like this mean the US is "losing". Update: Date: 18:12 BST Title: Trump and EU chief enter crunch meeting Content: Thomas MackintoshLive reporter Welcome to our live coverage of crunch trade talks between the United States and European Union. "It is a beautiful Sunday in Scotland," Donald Trump said as he started a wide-ranging news conference inside the ballroom of his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. Against the backdrop of the green fairways and bunkers, Trump sat next to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and said he "was not in a good mood". Although the US president didn't elaborate on why his spirits were low, he said there was a "50:50" chance the pair would strike a trade deal, explaining "we have three or four sticking points". "The EU has to be open to American products," Trump said at one point, while Von der Leyen added any deal would be about "fairness and rebalancing". The pair have now gone into a private meeting. Stay with us as we bring you the latest.

Report: Dolphins, Minkah Fitzpatrick agree to reworked deal
July 27 - The Miami Dolphins and All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick agreed to a reworked contract, ESPN reported on Sunday. Fitzpatrick will receive a $16.435 million signing bonus and Miami will save $11 million against the 2025 salary cap, per the report. The Dolphins acquired Fitzpatrick from Pittsburgh last month in a trade that sent cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers. Fitzpatrick signed a four-year, $73.6 million extension with the Steelers in 2022 and hopes to eventually sign a long-term deal with Miami, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. "We are comfortable with this commitment to Minkah as we continue to work with the Dolphins on a multiyear extension," Rosenhaus told ESPN on Sunday. Fitzpatrick, 28, is a five-time Pro Bowl and three-time All-Pro selection who launched his career in Miami as a first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. Fitzpatrick recorded 96 tackles and one interception in 17 starts last season. He has 20 picks, 54 passes defensed and 608 tackles in 106 career games (101 starts) with the Dolphins (2018-19) and Steelers. --Field Level Media

Simple savings habit helps Americans dodge recession and build wealth
Americans have been surprisingly strategic with their cash. New research finds that more US consumers are shifting money out of traditional checking and savings accounts and into financial vehicles that offer investment income. It's a trend that helps explain the surprising strength of the US economy — which continues to grow despite high inflation and uncertainty around tariffs. The analysis, conducted by the JPMorganChase Institute, examined the accounts of 4.7 million households. Researchers found that when including brokerage accounts, money market funds, and certificates of deposit, people's total cash reserves are actually rising. That finding offers a fresh perspective at a time when standard bank balances, adjusted for inflation , remain flat and historically low. 'Families across many income bands are now seeing a turnaround in their total cash,' said Chris Wheat, president of the institute. The shift explains a previously puzzling economic contradiction: consumer spending has remained strong , even though checking and savings balances appeared stagnant. So far, this earnings season, companies have continually reported that consumers keep spending cash at record numbers. GM reported a seven percent increase in US car sales . Hasbro said its revenue also shot up seven percent. Delta Airlines beat Wall Street's profit guidance. Some consumers have even had cash lying around to invest in new meme stocks . But that continued spending and stagnant wage growth might have just been a product of Americans making smarter financial moves. Wheat also noted that in today's higher-interest environment, consumers parking cash in accounts that yield returns, rather than making risky, long-term investments. Still, he cautioned that the trend might be temporary, and it's unclear whether it will continue. JPMorganChase Institute also uncovered that the investment shifts were more popular for middle- and high-income earners. The analysis also found that households earning under $35,000 saw their total cash balances increase at an annual rate of 5 to 6 percent. It found the lowest income quartile typically holds just over $1,000 in bank accounts. The median balances of the highest income quartile exceed $8,000.
