You know it's a big deal when a massive chain like Wendy's is feeling it. Wendy's is in the news today, and it's not because of a snarky or clever reply the brand doled out to McDonalds on social media-- although nine times out of ten, that would be the reason. No, today it's because of the Coronavirus pandemic aftermath. Namely, a meat supply shortage.

Photos have been popping up across the internet, showing that certain Wendy's locations are no longer serving burgers due to a lack of beef patties, while other locations are limiting the amount of patties you can get with any given meal-- no more two or three-burger patties.

Wendy's has since issued a statement on the matter, saying, "We’re working diligently to minimize the impact to our customers and restaurants, and continue to work with our supplier partners to monitor this closely."

Have you guys noticed any beef shortage popping near you? Let us know in the comments. 

Stay safe out there.

Chick-fil-A is making an effort to reach customers in new ways. The restaurant is not only known for its great chicken sandwiches but also for its very popular sauces. In an exciting move, they are rolling out the idea of selling their sauces to the masses at grocery stores. Starting in April, Chick-fi-A signature and Polynesian sauces will be available for purchase in Florida at Walmart, Publix, Winn-Dixie, and Target. The sauce will be sold in 16-ounce bottles for approximately $3.49.

“Increasingly, our customers are searching for ways to enjoy our brand at home,” stated Michael Patrick, principal program lead for Chick-fil-A’s Beyond the Restaurant team.

Chick-fil-A is just beginning to learn about the retail market, but are hoping to expand this project further than Florida as soon as they can justify.

Chick-fil-A noticed that consumers across the world are moving away from traditional takeout, instead, figuring out ways to enjoy meals from the comfort of their own homes. By offering their sauces to retailers, Chick-fil-A is continuing to reach their market, even if they are not willing to step into their physical restaurants. Chick-fil-A credits other restaurant chains such as Cheesecake Factory, TGI Fridays, IHOP and others for their ability to crack into the new retail market and are hoping to be as successful in their transition.

Post Malone makes his acting debut in the Netflix movie Spenser Confidential, and he has the film’s leading star & co-producer Mark Wahlberg to thank for fighting to make sure the “Sunflower” emcee landed a good part. So, to thank his fellow thespian, Posty decided to order hundreds of burgers from Wahlberg’s burger joint Wahlburgers for the entire premiere party to chow down on.

Malone couldn’t walk the West Hollywood black carpet premiere due to a scheduling conflict with his Runaway Tour in Washington, D.C. To make up for his absence, Posty scheduled for the burgers to arrive at the same time that Mark did, and even made sure to send a special video note to vocally show his gratitude for the movie role recommendation (seen above). “Sorry I couldn’t be at the premiere tonight,” Malone said in the video according to Variety, following up by saying, “I love you so much, but I Postmated something very special to make up for it.”

Mark was equally as gracious for the gesture, telling Variety while at the premiere, “Posty and I have been friends for a long time and I know Posty is always going to Wahlburgers when he’s not in the studio.” He also added that director Peter Berg wasn’t 100% behind casting Malone in the role being that he had no prior experience and didn’t have time to audition. Ultimately Wahlberg rode for the homie, saying “not only did I convince Pete to hire him, I also convinced him to give [Malone] two parts and combine them.”

Read what Mark had to say about coaching post Malone in his first acting role, Variety:

“When we finally got to the set — we were actually at Posty’s trailer — Posty would not rehearse the scene and he wouldn’t do his real voice. He was making some crazy voice, so Pete was even more scared,” Wahlberg recalled. “You could tell Posty was a little nervous…but then we went in and on the first take he absolutely killed it.”

Burger King stays doing the most when it comes to their advertisement schemes, from offering love scorned customers free Whoppers on Valentine's Day in exchange for pictures of their exes to actually giving out free burgers UberEats to carnivores in The Bronx who were annoyed by the "Joker stairs" epidemic. In their latest marketing ploy, the iconic fast food franchise decided to show us what a 34-day-old Whopper should look like in an effort to push towards eliminating artificial preservatives in food. The results, well, weren't so appetizing.

As you can see from the official ad seen above, "The Moldy Burger" is enough to make you almost want to become a vegan. Speaking on why this campaign even exists in the first place, the burger joint's North America President Christopher Finazzo said, "The Burger King brand is currently rolling out the Whopper® sandwich with no preservatives, colors, or flavors from artificial sources in the U.S." The preservative-free patty is already available in over 400 Burger King restaurants throughout the U.S. and will be in every location by the end of 2020, according to Finazzo. 

Of course, this sent many on social media into a viral frenzy. Take a look below at some of our favorite reactions to Burger King's new The Moldy Burger ad campaign: 

He may only answer to the name “Foodgod,” but Jonathan Cheban, the Russian-born TV personality and entrepreneur-turned-foodie, is having a not-so-heavenly experience as the face of the popular burger joint Burgerim. The company has gone belly-up, its Israeli owner has fled the country, employees haven’t been paid in months and thousands of investors have lost tens of thousands of dollars.

Best known for his close relationship with the Kardashian family and appearances on Keeping up with the Kardashians, Foodgod became the official spokesperson of Burgerim last year, posting rave reviews of the patties on social media.

“HOLY BURGERS! I love this spot @officialburgerim,” he tweeted. As part of his advertising campaign, the foodie fanatic even took Kim Kardashian to the chain’s Woodland Hills, Calif., location, which drew a rapturous review from the mega star. 

However, as of this week, Burgerim, whose catchphrase is, “the fastest growing burger chain in the U.S.,” may well prove to be the fastest declining burger chain in the U.S. after reports surfaced that the chain had been overly aggressive in its franchising efforts. According to a report in Restaurant Business, Burgerim solicited some 1,200 people “inexperienced in restaurants or franchising—teachers, cooks, accountants, police officers, engineers, war veterans and real estate professionals, many of whom drained savings accounts and retirement accounts to pay their fee, all hoping for a piece of the American dream.” The article also cites that the company went from owning one location in 2016 to over 200 by 2019 and launched a social media campaign to find investors. On Facebook, a post appeared on their page, which stated, in all caps “NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY” and that those interested needed only $50,000 to open a restaurant. 

Foodgod has officially cut ties with Burgerim and slapped the burger joint with a legal suit looking to reclaim funds owed to him and requesting that it ceases to use his image for advertising purposes.
