“I’m grateful to have the opportunity to partner up with such a trailblazing brand such as Shake Shack. The joy of working with Chef John and creating a perfectly balanced meal with the best of Ghee and Shake Shack is priceless. The carefully curated art by Brian is the cherry on top, celebrating a beautiful culinary experience of food, drinks, art, and newfound friendships. This is the perfect first collaboration for Ghee Wynwood, and what better time than Miami Art Basel”. said multi time James Beard nominee, Niven Patel.

Both Ghee and Shake Shack have been long-time fans of Butler’s striking and approachable designs found across the Miami art scene – including murals at Shake Shack’s Aventura Mall and Coral Gables locations. Upon kicking off this partnership, Butler worked closely alongside the chefs during menu research and development, drawing inspiration for a design that celebrates their culinary collaboration.

Butler took his unique style to create a visual marriage of the two brands featuring nods to the premium ingredients and culture of both cuisines. Guests will not only be immersed in Butler’s artwork throughout their dining experience but will also be transported to an Indian-inspired spice market celebration after dessert.

Here, they'll be given a custom masala dabba spice tin adorned with Butler’s designs and filled with fresh take-home spice blends from the chef team. Inspired by Ghee's iconic tile designs found throughout the restaurant, attendees will have the opportunity to paint their own tile in Butler's distinctive style, creating a lasting addition to a commemorative mosaic wall. Guests are invited to take part in this experience while enjoying a drink, live music and a meet & greet with the artist.

Tickets for the lunch experience are priced at $45 per person, featuring a craft cocktail, a four-course meal, dessert, non-alcoholic beverages, and an immersive art experience by Brian Butler himself. The dinner experience, priced at $60 per person, includes a four-course meal, dessert, non-alcoholic beverages, and the art experience—all included.
