Born and raised in Connecticut, Shake Shack Culinary Director Mark Rosati grew up enjoying many of the state's legendary roadside seafood and burger shacks. In 1995 Mark's creative mindset and restless spirit drove him to New York City. After pursuing a film and television degree, he swapped the production studio for the kitchen when in 2003 he accepted an entry-level position at Gramercy Tavern. In 2007 Mark's desire to gain front-of-house experience led him to Shake Shack. Mark has a passion for a great burger and now he's helping others understand the nuances of making a brilliant burger.
