AceShowbiz - Matthew McConaughey, Melissa McCarthy, Paris Hilton and Shay Mitchell are coming together to celebrate America's National Burger Day on Thursday, May 28 with a charity livestream.
Officials at delivery service Uber Eats and secret food club Off The Menu have teamed up to stage the "Burger Showdown", giving fans the opportunity to try burger creations by 50 stars, who have teamed up with notable chefs and restaurant owners around North America to create their offerings for locals to purchase in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Florida, Austin, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois.
If customers like the burger, they can then vote for the pairing online to help their team secure the Burger Showdown title at the end of the four-day event.
Among those participating are retired basketball ace Dwyane Wade, actors Sarah Hyland, Kaley Cuoco, Josh Hutcherson, Jason Sudeikis, Sophia Bush, and Scott Eastwood, former mixed martial arts star Ronda Rousey, and singer/actress Katharine McPhee.
"We are so excited to bring the world's largest virtual burger competition to life to celebrate National Burger Day," Lawrence Longo, Founder & CEO at Off The Menu, told Forbes.
"We paired some of the most well-known burger lovers with Uber Eats' local favourites to create their ultimate burger - and we can't wait for everyone to enjoy them! We also hope everyone will help us in our efforts to support Frontline Foods, who are feeding our heroes on the frontlines as well as provide some additional awareness for our restaurant partners whose businesses have been impacted by the pandemic."
A special "Burger Showdown" livestream will be taking place on Twitch from 6pm EST on Thursday, when celebrity burger fans will be making guest appearances. Viewers can tune in here.
