Burger King may not have been able to lure its biggest rival into a charity-minded collaboration, but four other chains have stepped in to fill the McWhopper void.
Denny's may be the largest and best-known of the lot, but the fast-casual chain will be joined by Krystal (a Southern chain similar to White Castle), Wayback Burgers and Giraffas (a Brazilian chain with 10 Florida locations) in offering Peace Day co-branded burgers on Sept. 21.
Here's the note Burger King posted to its Tumblr:
Since each of these partnership-minded chains had already proposed the idea to Burger King, it's safe to say they're on board:
we're in! let's hash it out over some hash browns. https://t.co/tYjlrILUNw

Here are the original tweets from each chain that volunteered:
