Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Kyle Heggie. Today, the biggest restaurant company you've never heard of just bought Grubhub is Wonder, the next Chipotle.
And New Yorkers, rejoice. Your days of paying broker fees are over. It's Thursday, November 14th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
We are lucky to be joined by the great Kyle Hagee, the co-host of Morning Brew's other podcast, per my last email. Yes. Kyle, we've got to talk about the trend that is sweeping the globe, celebrity lookalike contests. So this started a few weeks ago when a Timothee Chalamet lookalike competition was held in New York City and went viral after the man himself showed up.
Then these started popping up all over the place. A Paul Mescal lookalike competition in Dublin, Harry Styles in London, Dev Patel in San Francisco. This upcoming weekend will feature more, including a Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition in Chicago, of course. Kyle, help us explain what's going on here.
Well, I think Timothy ruined it for everyone because he actually showed up. So now I think everyone's like, how do I get to know my favorite celebrity? I'll just do a lookalike contest and hope they show up. So, Jeremy Allen White, you better get your butt to Chicago. Neil, I have a question for you. Yeah. The best celebrity lookalike competition that you would win, who is that for?
I don't think I look like any celebrity, but I've been told that I look a little bit like Mike from Suits. That's the only thing that has ever been mentioned to me in the realm of celebrity lookalikes. I don't even know what this guy looks like. I'm sure he's extremely handsome.
