The result is a full unapologetic Americana Summer at The Shack, which George Washington would want to take a bite out of!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hinging on Shuckin\u2019 Shack\u2019s authentic, not-too-serious atmosphere, the campaign combines classic American menu items, over-the-top Americana visuals and a level of playfulness that will encourage \u201cA Good Shuckin\u2019 Time\u201d all season long. Think laser-eyed bald eagles, fireworks, vintage Americana, Route 66 vibes, mullets carved into Mount Rushmore, beer buckets on ice, hot dogs, muscle cars and patriotic beach energy, all colliding in true Shuckin\u2019 Shack fashion.<\/p>\n<p>At the center of the campaign is a limited-time menu that looks like it was created somewhere between a Fourth of July cookout and a beach vacation fever dream.<\/p>\n<p>Now available and running through Labor Day at participating locations (pricing and participation will vary by location), guests can get their hands on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cyclone Chargrilled Oysters<\/strong>, which are loaded with chili, hot dog medallions, Monterey Jack cheese, mustard and onion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Double Play Dogs:<\/strong> Beer-battered corn dogs served with Mile 0 mustard, slaw and fries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red, White &#038; \u2018Cue pulled pork<\/strong>, piled high and served with a healthy portion of house-made barbecue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Route 66 Smash Burger<\/strong>, which is a classic roadside-inspired burger with optional \u201cCyclone Style\u201d toppings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boardwalk Fries:<\/strong> Old Bay fries topped with cheese sauce and crab meat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, no summer celebration is complete without a little liquid courage. Guests can wash it all down with the Firecracker Smirnoff Crush, the Red, White &#038; Blooze Colada, or the Uncle Slammer, an oyster shooter that proudly ignores all reasonable decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>Spanning the entire season, the campaign will tie into vacation vibes, baseball games, summer concerts and, obviously, America\u2019s massive 250th birthday celebrations, perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica, Shuck, Yeah!
