(Yes, right now it's just me making everything)
Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan's point of view.

I literally applied to Ghost Kitchen not too long ago because I had no idea how they run. I tried to look for info on it and they told me “people have been stealing our ideas, so we have a policy where we operate in private.” I felt like I was going to be kidnapped or something☠️ I guess Mr.Beast Burger is in literally every Ghost Kitchen.
Red Robin traps out the beast burgers harder than anyone else I've seen.
I literally got accepted today in one of the ghost kitchens
@@user-ku6gp3xh4u keep us updated on any unethical shit happening there
@@movewithaustin1297 bruh... thats actually the play
@@user-ku6gp3xh4u "one of the" or the actual one? 😊
I don't care if I've already seen the vid, I must see it through Hasan 😤
Same. Parasocialists rise up
Same. Well with Ethan thou
I prefer watching it first and then getting Hasan's take. The man adds a lot but the interruptions kinda wreck the pace of any given video
literally my right now
Truuuu
i remember working at a fast food place that served gluten free bread. we had to wipe the counter that the bread never touched, and change our gloves - but all the sandwich toppings had already been touched by regular bread gloves in previous orders. at least at this chain restaurant, it was all for show. cross contamination was 120% happening everyday. i’d often warn people who ordered the gluten free bread because it felt wrong not to.
I'm glad you warned them. That was good to do.
Seriously, thank you for that. I'd rather find out and order elsewhere than shit my brains out for 3 days straight.✌🏻
It's not all for show, a lot of people have milder intolerances and a little bit of cross contamination will be totally fine. Still 100% right to warn people though, some people have more severe gluten allergies
@@clark523 The whole point is no cross contamination at all because you don't know the customers level of intolerance.
That's a big deal for actual celiac disease, my relative's dishes can never even touch gluten in any form. It's too much of a PITA keeping track of which items will not absorb gluten enough to need replacing. I wouldn't trust most kitchens to safely handle gluten free needs.
This really needs to be regulated cause it's bordering on scam territory
It gives me the vibe of how tours are done in asia or central america, etc. where it's all the same loose massive operation but different "tour groups" with their own sites/fronts just contracting out work. Very bizarre.
I think we have better chances trying to get the apps to do something because it's really bad for the users. I doubt even that will happen though
Its just blatantly in scam territory. Kitchens are supposed to be highly regulated for a reason
It’s tax revenue. No incentive to corral it until someone dies from an allergy
Hmm 🤔 crypto/NFT and burger which are just logo on outsourced burger 🕵️
I’ll always protect my local restaurants over virtual kitchens as a Chicago we cherish our local businesses
At least try MrBeast Burger before you write off all virtual kitchens, the Karl Deluxe I got was awesome
Wow, a real life Chicago!
What's it like being a city?
@@jaysontatum01 bot alert
I live in a south suburb there’s none of this shenanigans going on around me
Ayyyy whats up my fellow chicagoan! I love the amount of places to eat here :3 Truly a food paradise!
Everyone tingles when they eat pineapple because there is an enzyme in pineapple that dissolves tissue. That's why it's good to eat pineapple with meats/is used to tenderize meats.
So every time you eat pineapple, it's eating you back. That's the tingle.
SOON WE WILL SEE WHO HAS THE MOST POWERFUL ACID, FRUIT ENTITY
whoever brought up oral allergy syndrome is a damn hero. Spent my entire life not knowing what condition I had that was causing that until now.
Humans are so weird, bro.
Like, how is eating fruits damaging you?
It's like being allergic to oxygen.
(my gf has this and I take it seriously, don't worry. I just think it's kinda funny how that's a just thing after millions of years of evolution, you know?)
I have it and it happens with fruits and vegetables. Iirc it's from your body mistaking the proteins as pollen. That's why when it's cooked the structure changes and it no longer causes me issues. Literally get that itchy feeling from things like carrots but only if they're raw.
same my parents (and then i) just thought i was a picky kid
Everytime I ate melons, my throat would always be itchy and hurt after, now I know why
@@JroFasho I get awful hayfever too, which OAS is heavily linked with.
It's a damn shame because raw carrots are one of my favourite healthy snacks and I can't stand them anymore because it's so uncomfortable.
This is the Bezos Amazon effect….. everyone is throwing darts in the dark at everything until they hit something. Unfortunately small businesses pay the price.
@Silly Cupcake! 🧁 there is no good side. but hey it looks like people are starting to become aware of what ghost kitchens are, and they aren’t happy about it, so you might want to move on to a new hustle before it crashes.
@SillyCupcake My comment isn’t referring to small business owners using them, it’s the automated corporate overlords I’m talking about. We’re super capitalist societies at the cost of humanity’s well being. But because of capitalism there isn’t much we can do to stop the scams, and schemes like this! ….because anything other than capitalism is “socialism “ 😂
Also with pineapples- when I worked produce and had to chop dozens of pineapples a shift for fruit trays, my arms would break out in on rashes from the acid in the pineapple juice. It wasn’t an allergy, but the citric acid is really strong and will erode your skin. It’s used in skin care for exfoliation and brightening.
Or enzyme? Idk. Shit burns your skin tho
The enzyme that breaks the fruit down as it ripens is an enzyme that denatures proteins im pretty sure so it kinda like chemically cooks you I believe
When I cut oranges and pineapples for my baby it makes my arms break out too! And if I eat pineapple it makes my tongue bleed. I think people also use citric acid for cleaning sometimes
That an enzyme called bromelain. It's the thing in pineapple's that ages meat and makes it really tender. It's an amazing chemical for cooking but you don't want to let it sit on your skin for too long.
@@eideticex I take umbrage with the term "ages." It breaks down collagen protein, which is a connective tissue.
literally just watched eddy’s video. it was incredible, so now i gotta watch it again w 20+ minutes of hasan commentary. blessed 🙏
I had no idea who he was until his vid popped up on my feed and it was a good one.

Mr. Beast burger had these “fresh” looking cookies on their menu and they were packaged from the local mass food producer, the burgers tasted like high school cafeteria meat. It was fucking terrible
yeah and he will get all offended and triggered when someone suggests that his burgers and candy aren’t the greatest thing ever to grace planet earth. dude is seriously egotistical. i hate that everyone has kid gloves on with that guy because he exploits charity and charitable actions for content.
@@jfk8540 sure you can criticize him but I’m pretty sure nobody else is giving help who is complaining and the people who get the help sure don't give a hell 😂 don’t hate the player hate the game
@@danielgraham1082 hate both.
@@danielgraham1082 he should be working with a better company, surely he is aware of the amount of complaints people have been making about it. And iirc Jimmy Beast has a whole team of people helping him at all times. If he really is just doing it on his own he should try and find new investors so he can open his own restaurants where he can have a better say in quality control.
@@degrassi420 I responding was talking about the charity part I agree that he should do better with the restaurants but Ecthelion was over-exaggerating about Jimmy being offended and not taking criticism well
I was literally just wondering if Hasan reacted to this like an hour ago and here it is bless the algorithm.
One time I wanted Bao so I went to grubhub to order some. I found a place that served Bao and it was only .1 miles from me so I decided to walk. When I arrived, it was a Filipino restaurant! I was so confused so I asked the person. They said they DID in fact do Bao but I had to use the online ordering system, I couldn't just tell them what I wanted in person???? So I stood there for like 15 minutes IN THE PLACE THEY MADE THE BAO using my phone to place an order which the person then told me was confirmed..... WHAT???
probably couldn’t put the order in their system, it just physically doesn’t exist, but since it’s a “different restaurant” online it can be put in there and they can keep their inventory correct
Yeah, it’s a VIRTUAL restaurant. Their system is online. You pay online. They can’t confirm the order unless it’s online. They don’t sell it in person because they’re doing their other restaurant in person. The virtual restaurants stay virtual.
55:57 This actually happened to me! Tried Beast Burger and the local restaurant that it comes from is really good, then tried it from a different location and it was absolutely awful. I think in the future I’ll just order straight from the local place that was good.
Walgreens, yes--WALGREENS, has a ghost store called "The Hangover Shop". Literally nothing is different except there's less items to choose from. Drove me nuts when I saw it.
"Life is often times just an endless see of L-taking, okay? And in-between jumping from one L to the other, sometimes you nut, and that feels good and other times, you eat food and that feels also just as good, maybe even better." - Wises words ever said
i used to work at carrabbas, they also make tender shack ghost chicken lmao but what’s so bad about it is that the managers do not have additional cooks on the line to manage the ghost kitchens order, so the cooks are constantly overwhelmed. and when we have a full restaurant, we still get tender shack orders in. they have to go “servers” (position is called car-side) and their pay is based off from trips but they do not get any of the tips for ghost kitchen orders but still have to manage them and give them to customers in their cars. ghost kitchens just benefit the owners at the cost to the employees who are doing additional work without additional pay for that work.
It's like how delivery apps first became a thing. The kitchen was designed to handle the entire restaurant at capacity, but then there's nights where they're at capacity and now there's delivery orders coming in. I've never been a line cook for a ghost kitchen place, but I remember dreading seeing a long ass order from Doordash coming in during the Friday/Saturday rush. I imagine delivery apps + ghost kitchens + full house is hell.
I can totally see why Hasan is big mad. My fam of 4 only orders out once every other Friday, and we always make it a point to order from a local family business. We love supporting them as much as we can afford to.
A friend of mine used to work at Chuckee cheese and found out later that they were selling pizza through doordash under the instore name of Pasqually Pizza and Wings so people were literally doordashing $20 chuckee cheese pizzas
this explains so much of the mid food I've eaten from DoorDash
i've eaten at one ghost kitchen and it was legit. there was this vegan egyptian restaurant that i really loved. it was super good and they even won best restaurant from a local paper in 2019. then covid happened and they lost their restaurant. they moved into a ghost/communal kitchen that had maybe 6 other restaurants in it, including a dominoes pizza. i think maybe 3 of the other restaurants were vegan and they all had extremely different menus. egyptian, southern comfort, thai or something and a sandwich/burger place. i'm not sure what the non vegan restaurants had, maybe it was the same as the vegan places but i think that's fair enough. i went there a few months ago and the egyptian place was gone. i was super bummed and looked them up to see how long they had been out of business and they had moved and were back on their own again. i imagine they'd be completely gone with the ghost kitchen keeping them afloat for a year during covid. so they aren't all bad, and in rare circumstances they can actually be a good thing. there's got to be a better way to fund small restaurants though
Egyptian food is so good 💜 I dunno if it's still there, but there used to be a restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan right near the University of Michigan which has a lot of good food in general.
Honestly they just need more regulations, like it should be illegal to list a business under multiple names
@@NickaLah I loooove Egyptian food
There's ghost kitchens that are like WeWorks but for restaurants, where different businesses share the same low-rent work stations but have their own menus and make legit food, and ghost kitchens where it's the one guy who created 10 different fake restaurants to trawl for business on the delivery apps using the same supply chain to make broccoli and beef and burgers and fries.
Food trucks are the lifeblood of Houston. If you want authentic Mexican tacos, go to a food truck.
vegeta 💯
Lol not many food trucks in the rest of the country. I have em in Cali but those are really new, for my area, not LA they been around for a long time.
@@artypyrec4186 wait where do you live? in a tuft of trees between two walmart settlements?
@@AwesometownUSA small city, so pretty much. You just described most of the US.
@@artypyrec4186 food trucks are the life blood of Portland. I can’t even imagine being without one.
There was a Thai place locally that we really loved… unfortunately there was a fire and it shut down. Later it was found out that the restaurant fire started because they were keeping a bunch of cats in the kitchen. They were walking all over the place and started the fire. 😅
Ps- their food was so good and we never got sick so…
One or maybe two cats, they like cats. If more because there was a problem and cats are a solution.
were the cats okay ??? :
Ya cats in the kitchen is gross, but at least I wouldn't be worried about mice or rat droppings.
The dirtier the better sometime I swear 😂
Someone needs to regulate this otherwise all that will be left will be big chain restaurants
lol welcome to unregulated capitalism! the end goal is supposed to be that nobody without generational wealth can survive without being a slave
33:30 - The guy that owns VDC, Robert Earl, is the owner of other restaurants like Buca di Beppo and Earl of Sandwich. So when possible, VDC can just leverage other existing restaurants in Robert's portfolio as virtual kitchens for however many VDC concepts they need. All they have to do is send the food supplies and train the Buca cooks how to make the burger or the wings. And I'm sure those cooks aren't getting paid any extra to act like they are working for multiple restaurants.
Whoever makes these you tube videos deserves a raise…I’ve seen Hasan live on twitch and he’s definitely much more relatable and entertaining here. Thank you!
I worked for a local restaurant up here in Seattle called Eastlake Bar and Grill (EBG). We had a ghost kitchen called Hennys. EBG sold regular pub food, nothing to fancy. We had a chicken sandwich on the menu, a Buffalo one specifically. Typical bar food. Hennys was all chicken sandwiches. Spicy honey chicken, plain breaded chicken, BBQ chicken, etc. We literally used OUR OWN breaded chicken patties to make all their shit. We also made all the sauces and I believe they were OUR recipes. Hennys literally only existed in name essentially. It was all our chefs, our products, and our labor. AND HENNYS SHIT WAS CHEAPER SO WE GOT DICKED ON TIPS. Straight up robbery and abusive AF to our kitchen staff. Un-fucking-cool. We deserve every bad thing Capitalism is gonna do to us 😪
i love how genuinely upset he sounds at 11:43 when chat thinks a segway is coming lol “dont PogO me :(“
I work at Outback and we have a ghost kitchen called Tender Shack that sells chicken tendies exclusively….they are the exact same tenders we sell at outback. I think in our cases it’s a marketing thing since a lot of people don’t think to click on Outback when they are in the mood for tenders
You know, when I order Chinese food, I would prefer it be prepared by people who know how to cook Chinese food. In the south, we have a ton of Mexican restaurants with owners from Mexico. When I order from a Mom & Pops, I want a really good sandwich that my grandma could have made. I want to support these restaurants. The ghost kitchens feel a whole lot like false advertising.
Chinese food was sorta one of the innovators in this field - there's one huuuge company that most Chinese restaurants buy and get their menus from - basically a franchise without being a 'franchise', it's a whole thing.
The real discussion here needs to be around what this does to workers, their wages, their ability to organize and collectively bargain, as well as the safety of the workers and the products they produce. I would guarantee that one of these facilities have far less restrictive health inspections since they do not allow public dining or pick up. They most likely qualify as some sort of food manufacturer instead of a restaurant, which changes all the rules of inspection and operation.
Less competition allows these large entities to lower wages industry wide in their area while also raising prices to the maximum threshold that consumers will still reluctantly pay due to convenience. These places are an affront to the working class and should be much, much more heavily regulated.
Dennys does something similar, they have 2 “online restaurants” that are really Dennys but they changed the names of some items . We have separate packaging for it so the customer doesn’t know it’s really from Dennys lol…one is called burger den and one is called the melt down, they are online only so like Uber eats and stuff like that lol
Not saying Denny's is amazing food but there's worse places to get shafted from.
I fell for both the Burgen Den and the other one. I felt so dumb. My son would have preferred having pancakes with my burger but I wanted something different.
tbh if hasan where to consider doing something similar to the beast burger the best thing he could probably do would be to just endorse a turkish resturant that he liked and to add an item named after him onto their menu
I’m sorry, but I’m way too poor and way too cheap to order through Uber eats. I will just skip the delivery fee and take my fat ass to the restaurant and get the food myself.
Its better to not use these services. I hate the concept. It's useless and weird because of how car-centric it is. Super expensive, and it's a horrible job for the drivers.
I hate these fucking services. Under communism we will ban it!!
@@Agent_A_Graham I've worked doordash/ ubereats exclusively for the past 3 years. There are plenty of pros and cons, and I do overall enjoy it, but the job itself is inherently pretty dangerous and I am ready for robots and AI to take it over
Where this shit gets really scummy is when a virtual restaurant pops up that doesn't even do anything other than pick up from a local place and upcharge you. Luckily those don't seem to last long but it's crazy that they can even get that far to begin with.
There was a ghost kitchen by Mr in NJ that has both Mr beast burger and Nascar refuel, the location is a deli and the ghost kitchen now permanently closed
perks of living in a small town: none of this shit from delivery services
It's cropping up even out in the country. I live in a town that Walmart took over & destroyed -- you'd better bet that door dash & other delivery shits are moving right in.
I live in a small town. There's loads of these.
Just watched the original video earlier and had my brain scrambled, so ready to do it again but this time with Hasan and chat's preferred method of mixing lmao
I remember seeing a tiktok a while back of some guy selling store bought frozen pizzas that he cooked at home on Door Dash or Uber Eats and making money. It was really crazy and he even bought pizza boxes to put them in
So early im refreshing for better quality to be uploaded
You're too fast! Wait... you have audio already? Usually people have to wait a bit for that...
Enjoy the vid :)
I thought this had happened to me when I rolled up to “ninja ramen” and it was “sumo sushi”, it was a different location in a different strip in the same lot, but the ownership is the same and google brought up the same address for both as they’re new and didn’t work the kinks out yet 😅 I’m sure they’ll eventually just do ghost for real instead of renting to spots in the shopping center.
Ive only ordered two things ever from door dash, Denny's and Taco Bell. I know what I'm getting myself into lol
There are a few chain restaurants that run ghost kitchens. I know for a fact Applebee's where I live runs a "wing's" ghost kitchen. I also heard Olive Garden has a ghost kitchen.
SHOUT OUT COSMIC WINGS @ 🍎🐝s
@@movewithaustin1297 ugh, they're f-cking terrible. I didn't realize wings could ever be that bad.
Yeah, I just commented that we have Cosmic Wings running out of Applebee's even in rural Michigan. I tried them once, they were barely edible. TBF, Applebee's mostly heats up frozen food now.
This makes so much sense. I was doing DoorDash the other night and I had an order for some cookies, I couldn't find the restaurant and it brought me to Casa Ole. Confused I went in to ask them about it and the manager said "Oh yeah, that's here". Later when I went back I noticed a sticker on the door that some kind of burger was sold there and now I'm wondering if it is Mr. Beast Burger. I'm going to check next time I go back.
A funny thing I have noticed with this lately is really bad local takeaways that have an otherwise bad rating operating not only as themselves but also as a different brand on these apps that looks more appealing and of course doesn't have the shitty rating attached to it, only way to know is to check the address.
Edit: just got to the point in the video that mentions this lol
In NYC some ghost kitchens aren’t inspected/permitted by the FDNY. There are a multitude of fire code deficiencies, one of these caught on fire. After the investigation they were issued 14 violations orders and 7 summons.
I see ghost kitchens all the time and it’s so weird because depending on which one you pick, the prices are different by like $.10-$1.00
I bet the MrBeast burger thing was a place that got the franchise label and then rather than buying the official burger kits from MrBeast, they bought the cheapest similar ingredients that they could find, so that they could still get away with "it's what you ordered. It's those same ingredients".
As for my own experience with ghost kitchens... there are a couple chains famous for being a single ghost kitchen here, operated by the delivery platform owner and it's super good. They do burgers, indian, bowls, korean, burritos and a few others. Unfortunately I moved to the edge of my city and now neither they, nor any other good places actually deliver here...
The ghost kitchen stuff isn't that different from the thousands of turkish operated pizza, burger, asian noodle (and frequently, but all things considered surprisingly not as often as you would think, kebab) shops we have here anyway.
Thanks to the editor for leaving in that stellar belch 😂
I once ordered wings from this place claiming to be a new local restaurant called cosmic wings, they delivered it in an applebees bag and then i realized its literally just applebees with a different name. I was fucking furious and the wings were trash LOL.
“THEY DECEIVED ME!!!” Had me dyin
Hasan needs to have Eddy on stream
I think one of the reasons you might have multiple "burger restaurants" in a location is that they do sneaky shit like give different special offers for the different places to entice people to order. Case in point - I know of two Thai kitchens operating from the same location. One of the locations offered BOGO offers on certain items. And the other Thai kitchen offered a completely different set of specials.
This is why I only order food within walking distance, that I pick up myself, where the person at the counter doesn’t speak English as a first language. Can’t go wrong
''did the minions make my wings''
well let me put it to you this way....do you SEE any wings on a minion? no. just arms and legs right? well thats because they remove the minion wings at birth to give you tasty nom noms, and then they tell you they are from a buffalo. CONSPIRACY?
Just now realizing how much I would love to see Eddy on Fear And
Damn sucks for big cities. Uber eats isn’t at all like that where I live, the only ghost kitchens are like beast burger or FaZe subs. I recognize and have been to most restaurants on the app. Obviously you could never do that for somewhere like LA tho 🧸
34:08 HELP this burp caught me so off guard im dead
Ghost kitchens are turning people with food allergies into ghosts themselves 👻
Hasan's reactions make me feel so seen
As someone who has a lot of allergy's this makes so much sense why I get bad allergy reaction everytime I order food 😂
Ive worked for a certain company, its because agents get paid per restaurant they get to sign up for the app and owners want you to order from them multiple times
I've had It's just Wings, they don't hide that it's chilli's. And the prices are cheaper than chilli's for the wings. I don't have an issue with existing restaurants hosting another business in their restaurant as long as the food is similar, they make it known and comes from the same kitchen. Same thing with combination pizza hut/taco bells. Same kitchen, well known(and known by food inspectors), mostly similar ingredients just on a different medium.
Yeah I kept having this unironically happen to me where I would want to try different restaurants that were too far out for me to eat at. And the restaurant would have pretty good reviews but the food I got was ass. Now I try to only order from places where I not only know the menu but I've physically already been there. I can't stand this nonsense.
God, after watching the original video, I saw the megadilla and thrilled cheese in my own doordash, and I live in bumfuck nowhere in Iowa. I've seen Perkins ghost kitchens too, though one of them is just their bakery so it's not exactly hidden.
The oral allergy thing is also real as fuck! I've had it my entire life, usually with apples and cherries. I'm blessed in that the fruits I like like melon, watermelon, and dragonfruit don't give me any effects, but apples and cherries make my throat and mouth swell up
This is like drop shipping but local and worse because it is direct competition to real businesses.
As someone who’s worked in kitchens from preparation, management, cooking and ordering, the biggest issue I see with this is not health codes or safety, or even strict adherence to recipes for dish consistency…
Fresh food is only good for 5 days. Sometimes 1-2, or 3 days, max 7 on a few things. Obviously having 40 restaurants with their own menus means you’ll have a lot of food on hand to be ready or else you can’t sell it, which means it becomes garbage.
Most restaurants biggest challenge is controlling their food cost.
I guess that’s why they have to whore out their kitchen to ask many menus as possible and as many apps and names so that it gets bought and not wasted. Thus all the rebrands and renames and stock photos.
Its so true about the MrBeast Burger. When I live in Alabama when they first started their burgers came from a Bravo's and were delicious. Now that Ive moved they're made in a ghost kitchen with plenty of other stuff and definitely can see a downgrade in quality and dont have the same MrBeast packaging. I try to look up stuff anytime Im ordering now to make sure its not a ghost kitchen or some major type restaurant that I dont like disguising itself under a different name.
The local Denny’s down the block from my place has two separate ghost kitchens serving all Denny’s food on top of it still being a Denny’s. Ones called The Burger Den and the other is called The Meltdown which is like fancy grilled cheese. Then our local ghost kitchen consist of 23 different restaurants in one building.
Calling this kind of thing "innovative" is like comparing someone who painted the Mona Lisa to the guy who made a photocopy of it, had it printed on some posters, and sold it as if it were the original
the music is such a vibe lmfao I feel like I am clearing out VIlla Ultraviolet in Borderlands 3
Not me getting an ad for boneless wings half way through 😂
There was a similar bit in Silicon Valley with a tech company repackaging pizzas as their own brand
This is so frustrating. Because it’s also the definition of artificial competition. “Oh sorry we have to raise the prices of your chicken nuggies because 15 of the 16 places in the area that sell these nuggets raised their prices. Pls ignore that we own all 15 and they are the exact same nuggets and come out of the same bag.”
This is what free market/capitalism gets you!
My husband and I found this out when trying to go in person to one cuz we fell in love with their Japanese egg sandwiches. We were shook to say the least 😭
21:27 this rant unironically snapped me out of a brutal depression
Question for Canadians that order on delivery apps a lot: are ghost kitchens a thing here? And if so, even outside of Toronto? I guess this concept will go wherever there’s money to be made but something about it still seems so…. LA to me lol
Considering Mr Beast was available in Toronto, it’s fair to say others exist. I don’t think there’s been any regulations or much press around it :(
I'm in vancouver and checked skip, there are none as far as i can see. I don't use uber eats so idk about that.
Not in Canada, but they are prevalent in the Portland Oregon area, fwiw
I haven't seen anything like that in Western Canada. It makes more sense in super densely populated cities, and Canada isn't really... that. 😋
@@Acidfunkish lol that’s kind of what I thought too. I live in the GTA but not Toronto, and wasn’t sure if even somewhere like mississauga would be able to support like 45 random fake restaurants out of one place on top of all the real ones
The illusion of choice, on steroids.
Figuratively, maybe literally, feeding you bs.
What matters is taking up 70 spots on uber eats
Video: *starts*
Hasan: "I gotta pee"
there is a *gas station* around the corner from me that is a ghost kitchen for (no exaggeration) 20+ breakfast sandwich places, and another 10+ chicken places.
ima just say this, while its not convenient, going to Pickup map view will at least show you how many restaurants exist at a single location. This one random average Bronx bodega near me has a Mariah Carey's cookies and a mr beast burger running out of it
"I'll take that over poisonous thai food" lmaooo I felt that
Pineapple has an enzyme or something in the core that if it’s not trimmed closely enough or you eat too much it will make anyone’s mouth tingle
Hasan from a week ago: "MR BEAST IS SUS"
Hasan now: DEFCON 12
i dont order online, but i get why cause my friends in large cities dont feel safe going out at night, especially as a minor. Usually ill get them some fast food if their parents dont have food at home if they want it
chill with all the midrolls man good lotd
Here where i live in Brazil there aren't ghost kitchens, but there are a lot of places who use the same stock images that doesn't have even the same type of bread than the real burgers.
Liked as soon as I heard "because yummy in my tummy".
The Mr. Beast burger turned me off from delivering food entirely. Among my first Uber eats food trips there was no name, no contact info, just an address that was wrong, prepared in a different restaurant, not listed and 2 miles away, and the vague assumption that the guy at the house door saying yes wasn’t just skimming a free burger on someone else’s dime. The only clue I had was that they said that’s the only “Mr. Beast burger they’d made all day”. Ok… Walked away confused af.
The reason they make multiple restaurants making the same food is the exact same reason you’re mad at them lol~ it’s to over saturate certain areas with their “restaurant”, if there’s 15 burger places but 5 are secretly the same place then you’re getting more traffic without spending any extra money.
