Learn how a TikTok creator bypassed city bureaucracy and convinced the Mayor of London to finally bring Chick-fil-A to the city using a joke campaign that got too real.


Dylan Wallace is the London, Ontario-based creator who turned a meme mayoral run into a legitimate political force. Known for his high-energy vlogs and viral stunts, he is the person responsible for the most-anticipated fast-food opening in his city's history.


Dylan breaks down the exact moment he sat across from Mayor Josh Morgan and heard the news that his campaign promise was becoming a reality. He shares his origins in the "diss track" era of 2016 and explains why he is moving away from the saturated prank genre toward a fast-paced vlogging style.
