And it went about as well as you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n<p>I<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DUTZ_ilDl41\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">n a video originally posted on February 3 on Instagram<\/a>, Kempczinski recorded himself eating the new Big Arch Burger for lunch in his office. The video didn\u2019t go super viral until people started sharing it on TikTok. And after watching it, I can see why so many people are fascinated by this short clip of a rich man eating a burger. But first the clip. Take it away, Chris K!<\/p>\n<p>Where to start? First off, just a note from a human being who eats food, but perhaps you shouldn\u2019t refer to your new hamburger as a \u201cproduct.\u201d It feels like a lawyer told him off-camera that, legally, it can\u2019t be called food, so he should just call it a product. Once he\u2019s done hyping it up, content creator Chris K opens it up and exclaims, \u201cHoly cow.\u201d Then, after looking over the burger, he looks at the camera with a flash of regret and says, \u201cThere\u2019s so much going on with this.\u201d You sound thrilled to eat it, buddy.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2000674521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/grossfaceceomcd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"  \/>\u00a9McDonalds \/ Kotaku <\/p>\n<p>The CEO of McDonald\u2019s then takes what I can only describe as the smallest bite of a burger I\u2019ve ever seen. It looks like a kid having to try some vegetable he doesn\u2019t want to eat, but is forced by his mom to eat just a tiny bit. In the moment after eating it, you can tell he\u2019s not happy about it, but he bravely soldiers on. He\u2019ll ask for a bigger bonus during the next round of negotiations and will point to this video as a reason why. He claims this is his lunch. Readers, I\u2019m doubtful that the burger got finished.<\/p>\n<p>And look, I love me some McDonald\u2019s. I don\u2019t care much for the chain\u2019s burgers, but the rest of the menu is fine in a pinch. So don\u2019t take this blog as me saying McDonald\u2019s is awful. But it is funny to watch a very rich man forced to eat food that he\u2019d never consume otherwise and then smile about it afterwards. Funny stuff. Thanks for the Friday giggles, Chris K!<\/p>\n<p>                          <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"McDonald\u2019s CEO and chairman Chris Kempczinski recently had to do the one part of the job I assume&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,201130,9948],"class_list":["post-504075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-hamburger","tag-mcdonalds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
