MrBeast Burger
The popular YouTuber MrBeast, known for staging expensive or outlandish stunts (such as counting to 100,000 on camera or giving away thousands of dollars), has launched his own chain of delivery-only burger ghost kitchens, which he publicized with a pop-up "free restaurant" event in Wilson, North Carolina. A few (not free) locations of the kitchen have arrived in Bellevue, Lacey, and Westlake, with a straightforward menu of smash burgers, grilled cheese, crispy chicken tender sandwiches, Nashville hot chicken tender sandwiches, "beast-style" fries (with caramelized onions, American cheese, pickles, mayo, ketchup, and mustard), and seasoned crinkle-cut fries.
