Shawn Davis listened to his daughter and wound up on national television. At age 10, she decided to stop eating meat, so her chef father created a hamburger made from shrimp.
Davis, who goes by Chef Big Shake, soon realized that there was a market for his succulent shrimp burgers. Today, CBS Foods manufactures the burger in four flavors: Original, Jalapeno, Cajun, and Teriyaki. Their core products include Lobster Sliders, Lobster Pot Pies and Lobster Mac and Cheese.
