Peters Pasta Donates 670 pounds of Pasta to a North Carolina Soup Kitchen
ROGERS, Ark., June 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After continuing to go viral on TikTok for his stunning pasta creations, Peters Pasta's Ryan Peters has made his largest batch of pasta yet. Working with the team at Happy Egg to supply over 10,000 eggs for the challenge, Peters worked with YouTuber and philanthropist MrBeast and a group of more than 20 people to crack and separate the 10,000+ eggs for a massive batch of pasta.
The food truck was hard to miss as it drove around Greenville. Eventually, the truck parked at Joy’s Soup Kitchen where they were able to serve over 235 meals to those in need, marking the kitchen’s largest donation yet.
Peters Pasta and MrBeast poured the massive batch of 10,000 Happy Egg Heritage egg yolks into a mound of flour to be made into pasta.

The yolks, which had to be poured from a customized hanging cauldron, were mixed with 550 pounds of flour to make 670 pounds of pasta. After taking 16 hours to process and cook the dough, Peters visited Joy's Soup Kitchen in Greenville, North Carolina where they were able to serve over 235 meals to those in need, marking the kitchen's largest donation yet. Joy's Soup Kitchen will be able to feed people with the donated pasta for weeks to come.
"Being able to feed hundreds of people is priceless," said Ryan Peters of Peter's Pasta. "I didn't think we could go bigger than the last challenge where we cracked more than 4,000 eggs, but this collaboration with Happy Egg and MrBeast made it possible to feed so many more people. I'm incredibly grateful to MrBeast for helping us make a bigger impact."
"Being a part of a fun, viral challenge like this is a blast—the 90-second highlight reel that everyone sees and gets to enjoy is great. What people don't see are the hard choices, last-minute hurdles, and hours of logistics that happen in the background to make it happen," said Happy Egg's VP of Marketing, Whitney Fortin.
"From coordinating a quick 10,000-egg shipment to identifying area food banks that can accept a donation based on their own safety and compliance standards, we're proud of how all parties were able to focus on the end goal of serving pasta to those in need. The Happy Egg, Peters Pasta, and MrBeast teams worked together to find quick solutions that ultimately served hundreds of people, and that's what we are in it for."
