MrBeast is Suing "Disgusting, Revolting, Inedible" MrBeast Burger Partner & Today's News

[@bolt7798]

I worked in a restaurant with a ghost kitchen and I'll say that the biggest problem we had was adding another menu to our own and giving both restaurants the time and attention they needed. People started cutting corners, and the food got BAD.

[@Fivedeuce]

That makes a lot of sense now

[@BackstabberDD]

Imagine hearing about this as a proof of concept and STILL thinking it's a good idea, and then acting shocked when it happens, and then turning around and sueing because it 'ruined your name'? No buddy, YOU did that by buying into this scam to screw over your fans.

[@thepenguin9]

​@@BackstabberDDyou didn't even watch did you, just went to the comments to spout your invalid opinion For starters, Mr beast was one of the first people to do it, so he didn't just jump on a bandwagon in the name of money like you THINK he's doing. (if that's the case, how come feastables keeps getting rave reviews?) Mrbeast TRIED to improve things. If you watched, you would've seen that in the court document they stated (under penalty of perjury) that Mrbeast made several attempts to communicate these issues but the company didn't listen. He wasn't just being ignorant and suing for causing his reputation to get damaged. He's suing to END THE CONTRACT because they're obviously neglecting food quality to sign more deals with other people - and using Mrbeast's name to gain more leverage on securing deals. You're not smart, you just embarrassed yourself.

[@Random_dud31]

​@@thepenguin9well, to be more accurate, Mrbeast was the bandwagon. Haha

[@BackstabberDD]

@@thepenguin9 He was the first person to do it, so that means he is exempt from literally just....understanding how the business model works? Nah. It's called vetting and doing your research before putting your name on something. Making demands to change things in a contract he has already signed is absolutely moot point. I'd have a lot more respect if HE was the one who brought these issues into the limelight instead of only talking about it when the reviews started (predictably) tanking.

I grew up in Idaho, and you would not believe how weird some of our murder cases are. What is most chilling to me is the complete lack of remorse Daybell shows towards the deaths of her children. I can't tell you what an appropriate response to the death of your child is, but telling the courtroom that you had a vision where your deceased children reassured you they were at peace in the afterlife is definitely not it.

[@tearainey1]

Especially when she's the one that sent them there via brutal murder. And from what I've seen/read it sounds like she had her hand in a few other murders as well. What really chaps me is that (I may not be recalling this correctly) I read that she and her new husband fled to Hawaii after her children had gone missing, and that fact delayed the search/finding of the children because they had to get them both back into Idaho. It was a whole mess, and frankly I think she's well aware of what she did and knows very well how messed up it is and she's just using religion extremism and 'crazy' as a shield.

If MrBeast wins the lawsuit, it’ll probably spell the end of ghost kitchens as a concept. We’ve already seen the delivery apps start to crackdown on ghost kitchens earlier this year with DoorDash labeling them in their app and Uber setting requirements for a ghost kitchen to stay listed on their app, and this lawsuit will probably scare restaurants and celebrities further away from the concept.

[@charlietheturdil8632]

I can't imagine they've been being honest to the people they contract with. Ghost kitchen's just sound like a bad idea. Food trucks have existed for so long and are already a very successful idea. I feel if they had gone the food truck direction. It would've been a lot better.

[@Agent2090]

It'll probably turn more into buildings being built or refurbished to exclusively host 3-4 ghost kitchens, rather than them popping up in already existing restaurants. Almost like an office building with cubicles, except the cubicles are kitchens.

Good. Got Mr Beast a couple years ago and even at the start they were pretty mid. I have a local ghost kitchen that I used to order from for several storefronts but their consistence varied wildly so when I see their address I click away. Ghost kitchens are just another get rich quick scheme and I wouldn’t be surprised if the venn diagram of ghost kitchen owners and crypto bros is a circle.

[@alecwhiteley]

The Daybell parents are so evil it’s astounding. I drive by their home everyday on my way to work, and have for a long time. All I ever feel is sorrow when I pass. Those kids were missing for months before anyone in the local community heard the news about the deaths of the Daybells’ ex partners. Every person I’ve spoken to about this was so blind sided, many of the locals knew these people. I’m so glad they’re finally being held accountable for what they did and for how many people people they hurt.

[@CyberMass]

Honestly taco bell and all other fast food brands should have to accurately portrait their food in ads and on their menus because you pay for the product you see on that menu, its very scummy and the shrinkflation has gotten out of control lately Edit: A lot of people are explaining that they are fine with it looking different since they use non food products for the shoot, but that's not the point. The point is that most of these companies grossly misrepresent not only the portion size but also the contents of the meal. THAT is the issue.

[@tearainey1]

I was amazed to learn that food on commercials is often not even actual food items, but fake painted up garbage to make it look more appetizing/bigger/cleaner. Like, why not make a commercial with actual real food to show what the genuine product looks like? I can get trying to make the food look appetizing, but if you can't reach 'commercial quality' aesthetic with the real food, maybe don't just lie about it. I remember watching one video that used a mixture of glue and shaving cream for the whipped cream dollop because it doesn't melt down and has more bounce/jiggle without breaking apart. Sure it looks nice, but it's not realistic. I also saw that for like, McDonald commercials they'd use foam and toothpicks to stick their fries up perfectly and to make their burgers look fuller and more appetizing. I think everyone can agree that a commercial big mac vs. real life is a massive difference in what it looks like. And that's not even touching on the fact that many fast food restaurant burgers are now about as thick as a piece of construction paper. It's dire times we live in for fast food I suppose.

[@SolitaryLark]

@@ErebosGRthe fact they where ran like sweat shops instead of how Mr. Beast wanted is why they failed. There is nothing inherent in the idea that makes them like sweat shops.

[@Vendavalez]

@@ErebosGR I mean exclusively the concept of having one kitchen that can realistically make multiple types of food for different restaurants selling it all out of a single space. Convenient in terms of advertising by themselves certain items that may not be what your dine-in customers normally order and thus not what they think about when they order online from you or that other customers may want but they don’t think about your restaurant when they want to order such items. It also could allow restaurants to experiment with ideas that they don’t want to put their main restaurant name to. Or just, like in this case, put the entire responsibility of coming up with a menu, recipes, and advertising to someone else, and you just sell the food. This can definitely have serious problems where your kitchen becomes a sweatshop. For example, selling food that is too incompatible with what you already sell, this tripling the amount of work for your staff and not even selling twice the food. Or by taking two restaurants worth of orders with only one kitchen worth of staff without having some measures to stop taking orders until the kitchen’s ticket queue decreases. Absolute serious problems that should make you not choose your kitchen for this. But what makes people do it anyway? Greed. That’s the problem here.

[@BackstabberDD]

Your food should always be transparent. The 'hiding it behind this other franchise name' is legit, the ACTUAL problem here though. It's shady. If you produce/prepare the food, then you have your business name attached to it.

[@Vendavalez]

It’s not considered a lie in this case unless it’s proven in court that he had intended to cut corners and lie about quality prior to the contract. It seems more like they got in over their head and started cutting corners to grow faster it breaches the contract but it’s not the same as him signing something that wasn’t true. In fact it’s the very reason a contract exists. As for food trucks the problem there is it’s not nearly as scalable and therefore they avoid such a thing. Like getting a contract for $xxxxxxxx amount and breaking it down to a bunch of smaller contracts to vendors who are now doing the thing you are getting paid for and you have no issue VS the concept of owning hundreds of food trucks in each city’s all with mechanical maintenance as-well as equipment upkeep that they own and is a depreciating asset. The ghost kitchens are a contract so there’s much less risk. You basically have a contract saying per burger you make we pay you $5 and we sell that burger for $10.

3:02 I used to (around 9 months ago) order from Ghost Kitchen specifically when I rarely ordered in, but after a few months and having ordered there a couple times, their quality dropped unbelievably low. From my favorite treat "order in" food, to requesting refund and refusing to eat the slop they delivered. Canadian perspective.

[@timogul]

I have to say, my Taco Bell meal of choice is just plain beet soft tacos, just meat and tortilla, and that really highlights how tiny the amount of "meat product" is included in them. You might think they are empty without checking.

I love that you typo'd beet instead of beef. It would indeed be low on meat if it's a beet taco! :P

[@ethnine2692]

The entire ghost kitchen idea is flawed. Every kitchen, chef, staff, and overall restaurant in the world have different quality standards and practices. Expecting a refined, consistent, quality product out of different locations with different hands making your food is unreasonable. Not to mention completely unrealistic. Anyone with an ounce of experience in the restaurant industry could have told you that.

I want to hit back on the claim that Lori Vallow got "her own Netflix documentary." That documentary is about her son Colby, her in-laws, and her friend who ultimately turned her in, and what they went through BECAUSE of Lori's actions. They don't give any ghoulish details about what happened to the children, or her ex-husband, or Daybell's wife. There's this reflex lately against documentaries about murderers, and how people who watch them, or produce them, or create them, must all be creeps and in it for the gore and violence, and that they are all tasteless cashgrabs. The reality is that the majority of documentaries on the subject are the opposite. They are about the victims, and their families, and the hurt and loss that haunts them. They are about the police and how they did, or did not do, their jobs. They offer psychological insight at times. They often have a reminder for us that we should be wary of believing we know what evil looks like, and sounds like. These documentaries play an important educational role in society that tabloids and the fictional Dahmer and Bundy miniseries' do not. I haven't seen the Lifetime show, but to call the Netflix documentary Lori's is a gross misrepresentation of its intent.

There's a reason why almost all fast food chains always have a "school" system wherein they teach a specific way to cook and prepare meals. To maintain a consistent quality control. So food is prepped and cooked exactly as intended wherever it may be. That's why you can have the same big mac whether your in Washington or Tokyo.

[@ryandunnlives]

A fatal mistake a lot of people make is thinking they can open a restaurant or start a chain by throwing enough money at it. Building a restaurant or a chain like that requires a very thought out plan/point. You have to think in terms of “can this viably exist” and work to make it exist as a brand. It takes lots of work and time and usually personal dedication. I have a lot of opinions about how this lawsuit has no merit.

[@SolitaryLark]

We’ll see

[@StreakyBaconMan]

The whole point of Mr Beast working with them was so THEY could do the work and put the time into make it a success and not him who knows nothing about running a restaurant. And then they turned around and tarnished his brand by being greedy, not caring about the quality of the food and relying on his name to sell it despite the terrible quality. Wasn't very smart of him to trust this company to take care to not tarnish his brand, but it doesn't let them off the hook just because he didn't think it through as well as he should have. I am sure both parties have signed a contract, and the question is does that contract guarantee certain minimum levels of customer service and food quality that this company is now failing to live up to? If so then they lose. If not then Mr Beast was REALLY dumb to sign anything with them without that being in there and he'll lose. Considering nobody knows what is in that contract yet (besides Mr Beast and the company obviously) I don't see how anybody can be judging the merits of this lawsuit yet.

[@Zoltan1251]

@@StreakyBaconMan I think Mr Beast have nothing to sue them over with. He literally put bad reviews as evidence?!!!! That is so sad. He would have a chance if he picked meat providers, ingredient providers, types of meat, processes etc but he cited bad reviews? Food quality is vague concept, you cant really sue somebody over food that doesnt taste good, just like film that you dont like.

[@StreakyBaconMan]

​@@Zoltan1251 If the contract contains things like that they must maintain a certain minimum star rating, or provide a certain level of customer service or if the company say gave examples of customer reviews of the other restaurants they operated and told Mr Beast and his team they can expect that same level of quality for Mr Beast Burger and therefore similar types of reviews then those reviews absolutely would be evidence you'd present in court because it allows you to prove they either violated the contract, or falsely advertised their service. Like I said before we just do not know what is in that contract and therefore can't possibly know if his lawsuit has merit or not. It's equally possible the contract doesn't guarantee any sort of ratings or quality or customer service and he's just upset because he thought it'd go better - I just think we should wait for the actual evidence to come out before deciding that because currently we don't have much to go on. Also I think it'd be foolish to assume that the only evidence Mr Beast presented was these reviews - I am sure there is a lot more evidence being presented on top of those, they are likely just part of the evidence being considered in court.

[@hommefataltaemin]

I watched some videos where the people order from many different locations, and most are shit. Sure you may get one good location in every 20, but that’s NOT good odds. And clearly Mr Beast himself is unhappy with this as well. However I’m glad you have a good spot near you!:)

[@bradmarepublic]

@@hommefataltaemin yeah I think that's the disappointment. For every good location, there's 10+ bad ones.

Jimmy doesn't care and is an entrepreneur. He went on it because he liked the pitch and thought he could use the concept to get money from his fans. Imagine you are providing all content to your fan base down to the food they consume. Beast is about his Brand and always will be. He only involves himself in "philanthropy" because it's proven profitable to build a brand around it. I wouldn't be surprised if mr.beast also was working with sweatshops in China to make his merch. Sure he helps individuals with his money and cures the blind but at the same time is contributing to nothing in fact he's proven that his brand basically protects him from public perception turning on him for either being ignorant in his buisness ventures or greedy.

[@zzehaloka3780]

Here’s the thing about mr beast burger. I had it once and it was from a good burger chain and it was great. But from what i saw it was always mixed. Which shows a fundamental problem with ghost kitchens. You can never be 100% sure of quality. But the other thing that’s sad here is intentions. For Jimmy mr beast burger was a way to help people get food and restaurants pay bills during the pandemic. To the company he worked with they saw it as nothing more than an opportunity for more money.

I tried a Mr Beast patty melt one time and it was horrible. Stale bun, flavorless patty, "grilled" onions were raw, and not close to the amount of cheese they advertise.

I hear it depends on which restaurant cooks them &, personally, that seems like a really stupid business venture. But kids find McDonald’s tasty, so one such as Mr. Beast doesn’t have to do much to get kids to buy it. There’s just no way this has been being sold for years & only *now* does Mr. Beast realize there’s something wrong (seems more like he’s protecting his image for justified criticism of a business venture he profited from until the end, but whatever, there’s more money to be made from “suing” the business partner now lol).
