This is weird... Has a delivery-only restaurant arrived in Louisville? A Google search places it either at the location of Buca di Beppo or Bravo restaurant.

Weird indeed! It definitely appears to be Buca's address. Are they closed? I did find this on The Google ...

It is a ghost kitchen location, so they likely are renting (all of) (a portion of) another restaurant's kitchen space . . . in some markets they appear to have drive-thru's, but in Louisville it looks like delivery only.

I’m not sure MrBeast is actually renting space. It sounds like more of a partnership, where an existing restaurant uses its staff and equipment to produce this food for delivery. Most of the sites I’ve seen mentioned are Buca di Beppo, Brio Tuscan Grille, Bertucci’s Brick Oven Pizzeria and Bravo Cucina Italiano, which all have the same corporate parent (Earl Enterprises). But the MrBeast Burger website invites restaurant owners to apply to take part, so I guess an independent restaurant could do this too.

I only know who MrBeast is because he made $24 million off YouTube this year. I can’t say this video review makes the food seem all that compelling, but if people like it and it keeps restaurant workers stay afloat, more power to them.
