YouTuber MrBeast is suing the ghost kitchen behind MrBeast Burger to stop production of its popular burger, claiming the company is taking advantage of his brand to expand rather than focusing on the quality of the food

. The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court in the Southern District of New York on Monday. “Because Virtual Dining Concepts was more focused on rapidly expanding the business as a way to pitch the virtual restaurant model to other celebrities for its own benefit, it was not focused on controlling the quality of the MrBeast Burger customer experience and products,” the lawsuit stated.

He’s built his empire by staging increasingly expensive and eye-popping stunts, along with generous cash giveaways and acts of philanthropy – such as bankrolling cataract surgeries for hundreds of blind people to help them see again. Some of the reviews of the burger, according to the lawsuit: “disgusting,” “revolting,” and even “inedible.” Donaldson claimed in the suit that more than half of the MrBeast Burger virtual restaurants have reviews of fewer than two out of five stars.
