From ABC News headquarters in New York, this is night.

Hello everyone and thank you for joining us.

McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's all vying for a bigger bite out of the market.

As ABC's Victor Akendo tells us, it's now an all out food fight.

Here it is, the big arch McDonald's CEO going viral not for a quarterly report, but

It's a delicious product igniting the Internet.

McDonald's just showed marketers what not to do when something goes viral.

Serving up the latest skirmish among the biggest burger brands in the business.

With the king Burger King taking a bigger bite.

And what was even more authentic was the mayonnaise on my face.

And as my wife would tell you, it's about time America understood what a messy eater you are.

Of course, we're starting with our Wendy's square patty.

And Wendy's taking up the beef with several bites.

This is exactly the way a great hamburger should be.

There's nothing fake or phony about us it's authenticity.

We've been fresh, never frozen Square beef since 1969.

The fast food CEO war was not on my bingo card for 2026.

In a statement, a McDonald's spokeswoman wrote in part, we're glad the big arch has everyone's attention.

CEO jabs aside, it's tough out there for fast food chains with sales under pressure and costs rising.

So what does it take to cut through the competition?

So you took one bite and you pretended to take a bite.

So all I gotta do is take three bites and I win.

You got fast food CEOs literally burger mogging each other.

At Burger King's headquarters in Miami, innovation is always top of Tom Curtis's mind.

Now, even if it means small changes to a tried and true classic, the Whopper.

The only thing that you would notice is an elevation of the mayonnaise.

So it's more of a premium, more creamy mayonnaise.

More significant is our change to the bunch of.

And so we've wrapped that excellent flavor in a tuxedo instead of a leisure suit.

Although not close in sales, the company consistently goes toe to toe with McDonald's in popularity.

This is a rivalry for as long as I can remember.

Have you decided to try to take them on, or are you saying I'm just focused on Burger King?

I don't think they wake up every day thinking about what Burger King is doing.

And I know we don't wake up every day thinking about what they're.

We're trying to offer an elevated experience and a premium burger that reminds you of a backyard barbecue.

When McDonald's released that video, Burger King was able to respond almost in real time.

That was in the can for three or four weeks before you even saw it.

That was filmed weeks before we saw that video from McDonald's weeks before.

There's been really positive comments about the Whopper on social media compared to the arch from McDonald's.
