It seems Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort are not the only ones who can’t live while the other survives.

If you were saving Shake Shack’snew ChickenShack sandwichas your Friday post-drinking treat, then you’re out of luck. All three Brooklyn locations are sold out of the sandwich until July 16.

It’s chicken, not water in California, just bread it, fry it and serve it! If this sandwich is meant togo national, Shake Shack’s got to get its economics game on point.
