Viral Burger King Employee Starting Food Truck With Money From Goodie Bag Fundraiser

The Burger King employee who went viral after management gave him a mediocre gift bag has his retirement plan ready … and, it involves putting his culinary skills on wheels.

Kevin Ford — who blew up in 2022 after his BK bosses gave him a pretty low-key cheap gift bag for his 27th anniversary even though he’d never missed a day of work — tells TMZ he’s bought a food truck for the next stage of his life.

Ford tells us he purchased the truck-trailer for about $20K, including shipping, from China — a much cheaper price than you can find in the U.S. — fully equipped with an oven, fryer and more … basically, the works.

KF — who’s going to collab with his Le Cordon Bleu-trained daughter — plans to start by selling some food he knows well … hamburgers and hot dogs.

He says he wants to move on from BK once he starts making a profit with “K27Y” — a reference to his viral fame. Ford wants to be out before next May — ’cause that’s when he’ll hit 30 years with the franchise.

While he’s starting with American classics, Kevin tells us he wants to infuse Filipino dishes into his truck … a tribute to his Filipina fiancée.

As we told you … the GoFundMe money raised after Kevin went viral for his so-so gift bag’s already been put to good use — ’cause he bought a house in Nevada earlier this year for $177K.

He plans on starting out by doing pop-ups near the home he purchased, kicking off at a Home Depot in October.
