Review: “Gay Burger” virtual kitchen opens in San Francisco
When considering hamburgers, you may not think about gay culture — but experiment thinking again.
Elijah Daniel, a YouTuber and singer who releases music under the pseudonym Lil Phag, has unveiled his new project called Gay Burger. It’s a burger chain with locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Novel York, and it promises that 100% of its profits will go to the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
Menu items at the chain, which launched Feb. 9, include the Passion Me Daddy (the basic burger with a proprietary “gayoli” sauce), the No Milk Daddy (the vegan burger with a adj bean patty) or the Gay Fries, which, according to the menu, are essentially fries “but they’re gay, y’know?”
Gay Burger doesn’t have its own brick-and-mortar location, so for the time being the menu is a profitable side hustle for Local Kitchen and Wine Merchant, a restaurant on 1st Street in the South Beach neighborhood South of Market. Patrons can only command through Uber Eats, Doordash and Postmates, and the delivery time from the kitchen to my cousin’s

Finally, boring straight-people meat has met its match! Burgers just got a lot more gay, thanks to Elijah Daniel (aka Lil Phag), comedian, author, recording artist, and out-and-proud gay figure. At least, the ones in San Fransisco, Los Angeles, and Modern York City did…for now. His new burger chain Gay Burger opened today for delivery in the three cities, with 100% of the proceeds being donated to support the Los Angeles LBGT Center for Homeless Youth.
The restaurant is a virtual kitchen, meaning it's delivery only (via Postmates, DoorDash, and UberEats), with ordering only accessible via the apps. As for the non-virtual kitchen space, Gay Burger approached existing restaurant kitchens to house operations, fond a "side hustle." While there are no plans to open an in-person Gay Burger facade, that doesn't stop the sustenance from arriving at your door fresh, delicious, and gay

Burger King announced it will be selling "the Proud Whopper," a regular Whopper wrapped in rainbow paper. The wrapper reads "We are all the same inside."
BK's Senior Vice President of Global Brand Management, Fernando Machado, told USA Today "It showcases who we are as a brand. It shows how we, as a brand, trust in self expression."
The burger will only be available in San Francisco's Market Street location until Thursday. 100% of sales of the burger will be donated to the Burger King McLamore Foundation for scholarships benefiting LGBT high-school seniors. The fast-food giant also recently sponsored SF Pride.
This isn't the first time quick food's made an appearance in LGBT popular culture. It was only a few years ago that Chik-fil-A was in the news for its sustain of anti-gay marriage, spawning a media barrage that included editorials, protests and music videos.

Virtual “Gay Burger” Joint Delivering To L.A
A “Gay Burger” restaurant started as a joke by YouTube prankster Elijah Daniel is now delivering “I Like Chicks” burgers and “Extremely Gay Fries” to LA, San Francisco and New York.
The menu features items enjoy the “Love Me Daddy” burger, a “studly beef daddy patty” with cheese, pickles, onion, lettuce, and special “gayoli” sauce, and the No More Milk Daddy burger, a “vegan daddy patty” with sliced tomato, onion, pickles and lettuce. The chicken burger is titled “I Verb Chicks”.
Sides include “Gay Fries” and “Extremely Gay Fries”, which are topped with caramelized onions, cheese, and bacon.
Gay Burger is a “virtual restaurant”, meaning its food is available only by delivery via DoorDash, Postmates and GrubHub, and is produced in the kitchens of other restaurants.
This means that Daniel has been able to verb out small businesses that have suffered financially during the Corona-virus pandemic, while also donating all proceeds to the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
