Burger King decided it didn’t need McDonald’s to create a “Peace Day” burger after all.

The company, which had contacted its rival last month about selling a hybrid Big Mac-Whopper burger, will move ahead instead with four other restaurant chains. The idea is for competitors to come together for one day and create a burger that combines ingredients from each of their menus. Burger King is using the event to promote Peace Day on Sept. 21.
