YouTuber goes viral for starting \u2018Gay Burger\u2019 restaurant chain Twitter, Instagram: @elijahdanielYouTube star Elijah Daniel has gone viral on social media after starting his very own burger chain \u2014 with an incredibly unique theme that\u2019s turning heads across the net. On February 9, Daniel \u2014 best known for his time as part of a humorous duo with fellow influencer Christine Sydelko \u2014 has gone viral, once again, as a result of his latest project. This project, much like that of YouTuber MrBeast, is a restaurant chain, which specializes in hamburgers \u2014 more specifically, ones of the LGBTQIA+ variety. That\u2019s right: Daniels\u2019 burger chain is quite literally called Gay Burger, and it boasts a charming marketing scheme of rainbow-colored wrappings and humorous names for its food items, including (but not limited to) the I Like Chicks chicken sandwich and Extremely Gay loaded fries (complete with \u201cgayoli\u201d sauce). GAY BURGER NOW AVAILABLE IN LA, SF & NYC on DoorDash, Postmates, GrubHub. @GayBurgerCo \ud83d\ude2d\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\udf54https:\/\/t.co\/3Ap9sMhbvW pic.twitter.com\/TNV5RtCpMB \u2014 elijah daniel (@elijahdaniel) February 9, 2021 Daniels\u2019 \u201cGay Burger\u201d chain isn\u2019t just for fun and shock value, though; the influencer is donating all proceeds from the restaurant to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which will be handled by his very own nonprofit org, Cult for Good. Unsurprisingly, the initiative has gone viral on Twitter \u2014 a development that is quite humorous to Daniel, who has reacted to both the outrage and the hilarity surrounding his new venture. That being said, Daniel\u2019s viral idea was borne out of another YouTuber\u2019s previous venture, with Daniel crediting his inspiration to MrBeast. In December 2020, MrBeast unveiled his own burger chain, which similarly took the internet by storm as the entire social media sphere scrambled to try out the unexpected food from one of YouTube\u2019s biggest stars. \u201cGay Burger came along as a joke inspired by MrBeast Burger as a creative new way to raise money and help out small restaurants,\u201d Daniel said of the project in an interview with Tubefilter. \u201cIt was originally a joke, where I just yelled, \u2018I WANT A GAY BURGER CHAIN\u2019 out of nowhere.\u201d BURGERS ARE GAY NOW BURGERS ARE GAY NOW BURGERS ARE GAY NOW BURGERS ARE GAY NOW BURGERS ARE GAY NOW \u2014 elijah daniel (@elijahdaniel) February 9, 2021 This is far from the first time Daniel has pulled such a stunt: In June 2018, Daniel also became mayor of \u2018Gay Hell,\u2019 Michigan \u2014 a prank that similarly saw him make international headlines. Those interested in trying out Gay Burger can order from Los Angeles, New York City, and San Fransisco via DoorDash, Postmates and GrubHub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
