A little sleuthing revealed that the brands corresponded with buildings owned by CloudKitchens, the ghost kitchen company led by former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick. Ghost kitchens have proliferated throughout the pandemic as people look to order delivery—sometimes from restaurantless restaurants, it turns out.
