when you learned that the hard way, I guess initially at Shake Shack they went with the fresh and then they were— nope, it's got to be the frozen.
David Faber · Squawk on the Street · 9AM HOUR: Stocks Hit Record Highs, CrowdStrike CEO on AI and Stock Surge, Skydance Era Begins 10/6/26 · 2026-10-06Yeah. You know, like the problem with the problem with Shake Shack was it was keeping people from seeing the game. The line was too long. And I said, I said, why is that a problem? It's the Mets.
Jim Cramer · Squawk on the Street · 9AM HOUR: Stocks Hit Record Highs, CrowdStrike CEO on AI and Stock Surge, Skydance Era Begins 10/6/26 · 2026-10-06There's a Shake Shack there.
Scott Galloway · Pivot · Ellison's Rebrand, Netflix's Struggles, and Elon's Breakup · 2026-10-06There's so much wisdom on the show from different founders in, in very diverse ways. You know, like we had, I remember Danny Meyer of Shake Shack, you know, talking about, he's, he's the founder of some amazing restaurants and then of course Shake Shack. And he talked about, in his view, what, like, why he's been good at business. I think about this a lot because it's very simple, but it does still require a discipline. Let's cut right to the chase.
Guy Raz · How I Built This with Guy Raz · 10 Years of How I Built This: A Decade of Innovation, Risk and Reinvention · 2026-10-05Large parts of this market are indeed frozen. So you have to let it go. Let it go until it gets unfrozen. On Mad Money today, restaurants are a fickle business, but one founder seems to have cracked the code by leaning into hospitality. Hey, do not miss my conversation with the man behind Gramercy Tavern and Shake Shack, Danny Meyer. And what do you get when you cross a data center play with a basketball team? How about a darn good stock performance? Don't miss my deep dive on Bloom Energy. And should you try new public player Reformation on for size? You asked me about it, I'm surveying it, so stay with Kramer.
Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30Nobody understands the hospitality industry better than Danny Meyer, who's built an empire in the restaurant industry. Most of you know him as the founder and chairman of Shake Shack, But here in New York, he's the man behind some of the best fine dining establishments in the city, from Union Square Cafe to Gramercy Tavern to Manhattan down here in the Financial District. The Modern, where I asked my wife to marry me, has 2 Michelin stars. For the record, she turned me down flat because I hadn't first asked her dad for her hand. Suboptimal. Gramercy Tavern has a Michelin star of its own. She might assume everything's been smooth sailing for him, but we're talking about the restaurant industry, which is absolutely Brutal. So he's had a ton of failures along the way, too. He explains everything in a humorous, candid fashion you just don't see from most authors anymore. That's a big part of this new book, What Could Possibly Go Right? The Essential Journey to Scale an Enduring Culture. It's honest, entertaining, and very informative, just like his first book, Setting the Table.
Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30Yeah, I made some mistakes along the way. And I think a lot of that was in the days after Shake Shack's very successful IPO. I kind of felt like—
Danny Meyer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30I remember you said that and I wrote about it in the book. You told me that was going to be the worst day of my my life. It was, it was a pretty good day. But, but you know what, in retrospect, I think you knew exactly what you were talking about. But you know what, sometimes my instinct is what could possibly go right? It's not just the title of the book. It's kind of an underlying optimism that I bring to everything. And one of the optimistic things that I believed right after Shake Shack went public was that we could do it again and create that kind of uplift for many people on our team. And so I said to everybody, you come up with a great idea, you come up with a great idea, let's see if we can make you successful. And we came up with some ideas that weren't so successful, but it was well-intended.
Danny Meyer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30So right now we're at Ci siamo, which means here we are, right? And the idea for the name of Ci Siamo came to me because we had planned this restaurant probably 2 years before the pandemic started. And this restaurant, like any gestation period, had to be born. So it was born in October of 2021. Not only was the pandemic still going on, but we ended up having to close the restaurant a month after it opened because of the Omicron variant. So ci siamo was my optimistic way of saying we've arrived, we're here. I do love Italy. What I do with conceiving any restaurant these days is I look at the location and I look at the, the context of it and I say, that's the frame. My challenge is to figure out what piece of art belongs in that frame. Look, we did it in 2004. With Shake Shack. Here's the park. That's the frame. What belongs there?
Danny Meyer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30We did it with Citi Field Center. They gave us center field in 2009. They said, what's the right solution here? Shake Shack, Blues Smoke, El Varano, Papa Rosso, The Modern. The museum gave us this space. What belongs there? The Modern. Ci siamo is what belonged here. We're in Brookfield, Manhattan West. And this is an area that's steps away from Madison Square Garden, steps away from the Moynihan train station. This is what belonged here.
Danny Meyer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30Is there a price that Shake Shack would the burgers that are so delicious that they're going to cost too much?
Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30Yeah, we believed in this mantra that we have, which is stand for something good. It was supposed to be a double entendre because when we opened just one Shake Shack— in fact, I only had one Shake Shack when I wrote Setting the Table. Now there's over 700 in the world. But when I wrote that, people— the only big complaint we got was the line is too damn long. We said stand for something good. And part of that mantra was that we're going to always use the best ingredients for everything and We got a restaurant criticism from The New York Times that said, why can't Mr. Meyers' chefs in his fine dining restaurants please teach him how to make a good fresh French fry? And I learned a really important lesson. Well, first of all, we retrofitted 35 shacks so that we could cut fresh potatoes. We stuck with this thing for at least a year, despite the fact that all of the public was clamoring to get the crinkle cuts back. And we learned an important— two important lessons.
Danny Meyer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26 · 2026-09-30Okay. So how can we find someone who has a vision? We're not trying to find another Shake Shack.
Zach Lasry · Odd Lots · Why Building a Crosswalk in LA Is Kafkaesque · 2026-09-28So Shake Shack's awesome. I love going to Shake Shack when I'm at the airport, but I don't necessarily need Shake Shack everywhere else. So I think people get a lot more excited when people are trying new things and are trying to test the limits of even pastries, whatever it is. If you're passionate about a thing, then that passion usually translates into an exciting new result. So that's how we approach trying to find tenants.
Zach Lasry · Odd Lots · Why Building a Crosswalk in LA Is Kafkaesque · 2026-09-28This week I'm joined by legendary restaurateur Danny Meyer, founder of the Union Square Hospitality Group. Danny, it's great to have you back on the show. Thank you, Guy. If any of you listening have ever eaten out in New York City, there's a chance that you know Danny's story. He is the man behind Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, The Modern, and he's the guy who took a single temporary hot dog stand in Madison Square Park and turned it into Shake Shack, which is now a global publicly traded burger empire. Danny, you were last on the show in June of 2020. And for those of you who haven't heard the story, we will put a link to it in the show notes. So check it out. That was a crazy time. The world was sheltering in place and dining rooms were dark and it certainly felt like a long time ago. I think in 2022, you stepped down to become executive chairman of the Union Square Group. So first of all, before we get into that, just kind of give us an update about what's kind of going on in your life right now.
