[Random Cool] I’m Eating Kuma’s “the Ghost” Burger This Weekend!

Published

What’s the most wicked burger on the planet, you ask? Well, Chicago’s very own Kuma’s Corner is the talk of the town as the “Ghost” burger comes rocking a communion wafer to wash away your sins. If you think this delicious abomination would offend religious locals, you’d be 100% correct…

Catholic Charities said today it would not accept a $1,500 donation that a local restaurant has offered amid controversy over its new burger, which mocks the sacred Christian sacrament of Holy Communion, says the Chicago Tribune.

Kuma’s Corner began selling the burger, “the Ghost”, in recognition of the Swedish band Ghost B.C. But the menu item at the heavy-metal-themed restaurant in the Avondale neighborhood has offended many Christians, including those at Catholic Charities.

We have not received nor will we accept a donation from Kuma’s Corner,” said a statement from Kristine Kappel, director of communications for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Communion is a central part of the Catholic faith,” Kappel said. “We strongly urge Kuma’s to discontinue selling a burger that disrespects that faith and the faith of all Christians.

On its Facebook page, Kuma’s explained the burger “in the spirit of our undying reverence for the lord and all things holy.”

It listed the contents: A 10-ounce patty, chile aioli, braised goat shoulder, white cheddar cheese and two other special ingredients, “Red Wine Reduction (the blood of Christ) with Communion Wafer garnish (the body of Christ).”

After controversy erupted, Kuma’s announced the $1,500 donation, and said the menu item would remain for the rest of this month.

Luke Tobias, director of operations, told the Tribune on Friday: “We’re not trying to say anything against the church … and we kind of have to prove a point because we’re not taking the burger off the menu.

We’ll tweet live from our massive feast… see ya’ in hell!

‘The Mummy 4’ – ‘Obsession’ Star Michael Johnston in Talks to Join Brendan Fraser

Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.

Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.

Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).

Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.

“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”

A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
