A Whataburger employee went viral for his food reviews, showcasing his faith by praying over his meals and spreading the word of God with his video. However, after Byron Juniors World or Byron Lutz went viral, it was reported that the 17-year-old got fried from Whataburger, which immediately sparked online uproar. But who exactly is Byron, and how is he doing now following the sudden layoff from the burger chain?
Byron Lutz, who goes by the name Byron Juniors World on TikTok and other social media platforms, has more than 600,000 followers on TikTok. The 17-year-old is known for his food reviews, and he ends each of his videos with a simple phrase: 'Jesus loves you'.
'The only thing that matters in the end is Jesus because he's the way, the truth, the life and the only way to heaven and our eternity is the most important thing,' he said.
In his videos, Byron blends food reviews, prayer, words of encouragement, and spreading the word of God to his viewers. He says his mission is to inspire others and share his faith.
Byron is from South Carolina and is a Lexington native. He said that he has lived in the area his whole life, and recently found a church family that feels like home,News19reported.
The Lexington native was previously a night-shift employee at Whataburger. A video of him reviewing a Whataburger sandwich went viral, but he was subsequently fired from the burger chain. His video has since garnered more than 11 million views.

During the viral food review, a colleague interrupted the filming to accuse the 17-year-old of 'lying' to his viewers. The colleague further alleged that another employee was going to 'beat your a**' for 'eating other people's food', adding that he was 'squatted down like some creepy little hobo'. The colleague also told him to 'stop smoking crack, Byron'.
Byron attempted to continue his food review, but, visibly uncomfortable, he chose to end the video before he could finish the meal. As was his custom, the 17-year-old concluded the broadcast with the phrase, 'Jesus loves you'.
Soon after the video went viral, Byron uploaded another video saying he got fired from the burger chain.
