I’m seriously so glad that Eddy Burback finally drew some mainstream attention to the VDC and Ghost Kitchen controversy/rabbit hole, and now the general public and those in charge are stepping up and cracking down on Ghost Kitchens’ scummy and shady practices

This is why I have never ordered a beast burger. Knowing it's a ghost kitchen, I knew quality couldn't be guaranteed.

I am not a lawyer but my common sense tells me that: - Any contract related to food (or any other product) should include something about quality control requirements and what happens when they are not met. Signing a contract without it could be considered as a rookie mistake However, the lawyer(s) hired to go over the contract should have point it out (I am hoping even a rookie would not make a mistake to sign a contract with millions at stake without a lawyer or 10 going over it) - It is not mentioned in the video, but did VDC ‘try’ to investigate the complaints and stop working with some of those ghost kitchen with multiple violations? Do they inspect once in a while the kitchens they have contracts with? And most importantly, do they have a quality control requirement in the contracts they made the ghost kitchens sign with them?

Sidenote: I think the cross-suit is pinning Jimmy as the fall guy for a larger problem. Ghost Kitchens have been under scrutiny a lot lately, and this seems like a chance for them to toss all their losses from that on Mr. Beast.

Bare minimum, there should be a "Ghost Kitchen" label of some kind on the website when you're ordering. People can still order if they want, but at least they're informed about where their money is going and the quality they may or may not get.

We ordered Beast Burger twice, each from a different location. The first one was amazing. It came to us hot and tasted great. The second order was atrocious. It was basically room temperature, the fries were soggy, and it just tasted bad. After that experience, we decided that if the quality is going to vary that wildly it was not worth rolling the dice, especially considering that Beast Burger isn't exactly cheap. This was well before Jimmy spoke out about the issues. I don't blame him for wanting to get out of the deal.

Food theory idea: could you make cake more healthy while still keeping it a good cake?

When he said “First to leave the courtroom gets 9 figures,” I lost it.

“Yo why are you giving my fans raw food?” “We’re suing you for $100 Million”

I hate when company's make poor quality food and try to blame one of the best people on this planet for making them look bad.

Contrary to what you believe, most of these ghost kitchens don’t actually have chefs. Most have cooks with basic, entry level training, most without culinary degrees. The type of cook you’ll find in hospitals, nursing homes and 1 star hotels. If you can boil water, you can work in a ghost kitchen.

The moment Beast Burger dropped, I knew it was a ghost kitchen. You don't see youtubers with their own independent brands every day. Let alone a whole restaurant chain.

A few months ago, Mr. Beast Burgers were finally available in Mexico. I was excited to order, but when it finally arrived, it was barely edible. I was a firm believer that you could not mess up a burger.

it isn’t mrbeast’s fault. he just wanted to give us quality burgers, yet his partnership ruined it edit: i didn’t want to edit this, but i understand if you disagree i just feel bad for him lol

In the last few years, 3 ghost kitchens and a dozens of new restaurants popped up and quickly disappeared. Was getting to the point where we wouldn't pick up from them because the cheap packaging would rarely make the trip and we'd deal with the customers. There is one that's doing pretty good and operating out of a culinary school. They run a pretty tight ship and give drivers soup or coco when it's cold, so good people all round.

They are losing money because now consumers know about ghost kitchens and choose not to order from them. If anything, there should be a class action lawsuit against them for fraud.

I worked in one of these ghost kitchen. We where fully capable of making great burgers, but all my co workers hated Mr beast for adding more to there already difficult job. Most if not all my co workers never made the food right or purposely made it wrong. I tried my best to make it right, but I wasn't always the one making the food. My work celebrated when we stopped the orders. My manager threw away everything we only used for beast burgers.

Fun Fact! At my local MrBeast Burger they told us that we were the first people to pick it up in person because we ordered it through the MrBeast burger app instead of ubereats.

I didn't even know what a ghost kitchen was two days ago. This is fascinating (and terrifying) stuff.
