So, a trending news story is the dispute between MrBeast and the ghost kitchen he used for MrBeast Burger. For those not in the know, MrBeast partnered with a company called "Virtual Dining Concepts" to operate pop-up burger restaurants under the MrBeast brand. Well, it turns out the food was downright horrible. MrBeast tried to get out of the contract and is now being sued by the ghost kitchen to the tune of $100 million.
