We need more stories like this, and we need more people like Keith.

[@runwalkroll]

He left Atlanta in shambles. We are still laughing at these businesses trying to scam back into the Keith Lee effect.

[@BubbleGumzKorner]

Sweetly Seasoned and Chicken Fire,too.

[@samanthanickson6478]

and instead of improving their product and customer service, they chose to attack him! no one learned the lesson. maybe the broke af cash registers will convince them.

[@nikkinj03]

Just left Atlanta again and still not impressed with the food. Fast food or chain restaurants were better than the mom and pops. I would have hoped it would changed.

[@spankbuda3769]

He didn't leave Atlanta in shambles. The same Atlanta restaurants are doing just fine today with the same rules.

[@beverlydudley6976]

The Puddery is really great! They were in Los Angeles and had a food truck pre-pandemic. It was amazing!

[@KCNwokoye]

His authenticity is the real value and I hope he never loses that for no amount of money. So many ways to change lives. Sending Keith good vibes!

[@PHlophe]

Go tchop finish !

[@TheRecipee_]

I can't fight back the tears.. so happy for him and his famLee

[@soulglo45]

Keith said keep the money, all I need is my fam. Real talk right there.

[@spankbuda3769]

Are you all that naive? He's saying this to decrease the chances of him being criticized/canceled for his opinions. So need the viewers to gain his trust by showing the viewers that he's giving away money, gifts, etc. Also, his mannerisms is very feminine. This is another reason why there's a lot of females supporting him.

[@Hotrodchef89]

This goes to show you two things, the power of a good review and the power of a good product.

[@peacefulbliss323]

Keith Lee is a beautiful soul.

[@ellenhenderson6865]

That business owner tearing up at the site if Keith!!! I started crying too.

[@zzizahacallar]

Keith Lee is an amazing individual. Love watching his interviews.

[@ronaldwebster9683]

Keith Lee is so humble and it is completely refreshing! Love this guy!

[@TwistedLyfofTV]

He doesn't go inside because he has social anxiety not because he's too popular. He speaks about that in a few of his earliest reviews

[@Clacci38]

He also said in order to review the customer service he can’t go in because people recognize him and give him special treatment. We seen him go into the store in this interview, so I’m sure he it isn’t just his social anxiety.

[@mrbeans2425]

he is doing so much ffor these small businesses what a genius idea

[@michaelmirrorcle9779]

This is so heartwarming😢

[@CallieFigueroa76]

That’s a fine human being Kind caring and smart I heard him say God knows what he’s doing and all I could think is god sure does Keith lee is a great man

[@ItsMrstoyouboo]

This is what we're subjected to huh..... sheesh influencers are getting recognition like they're icons. He is a self proclaimed food critic!

[@borderingonnothing]

His entire appeal rests on the fact that he is a “normal” guy giving relatable and honest critiques of local food. He’s not like professional food critics, who are only visiting 3 Michelin star restaurants and posting on niche platforms. What makes a person an “icon”?

[@folknhairy]

❤🎉😊 Great story! Congratulations 🎉

[@Friday779]

He should do a good show and ask contestants compete with one another.

[@massiahgrom]

Love this man and his mission!!

[@avgolden1974]

He's wise! I would have love to see him and the late Anthony Bourdain.

[@jparan123]

He has small kids and wants to see them grow while on this ride. that's how you know he is on the right path, he got priorities.

[@e4TV1]

Amen!

[@BubbleGumzKorner]

Has this reporter ever followed Keith? They don't ONLY post what they like. They post what Keith can be the nicest reviewing. Ronnie, his sister Irma and their moms go into the restaurants. HOW people don't recognize THEM after all this time is wild. I do!

OOOMMMMMGGG PROUD OF U NEPHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@matma01]

I was just wondering this week who Erma was. Also, I had Sweet Potato Thing a few weeks ago and the filling is as good as my grandma's but the cookie crust is what makes it better!

[@jam1736]

❤❤❤❤

[@leonbrooker8150]

I love how he gives small business the advertising that many of them can't afford...

[@Pou1gie1]

I don't think he has social anxiety, necessarily, I think he is an undiagnosed high functioning autistic person. This explains his flat affect and spot-on reviews, as autistic people can't help but be unapologetically honest. They have social challenges, which may be misconstrued as anxiety but is really part of their neurodivergence. It might be for the best at this point that he not know, as I think knowing these things cause more anxiety.

[@4eversunkissed]

You may be right. He did an interview on Here’s The Thing podcast about a year ago speaking about his childhood. He was uncontrollable, and seen as “bad”. No one could get through to him.

[@gemmeldrakes2758]

What happens if you campaign hard to get Keith Lee to review your food, he comes and tastes it but he doesn't like it? 🤔

[@Awillii]

He gives feedback….suggestions on how to improve from a customer perspective

[@pooh4025]

He doesn't give reviews to put you out of business he does it for constructive criticism plus he also blesses thr business financially.

[@gemmeldrakes2758]

His positive reviews can double or triple the customer traffic overnight without the need for expensive marketing. Any small business would want that. So it would be disappointing to get a negative review or not get the social media exposure you hoped for. I just hope some doesn't try to ruin his business if he doesn't leave a positive review.

[@pamela8329]

He would probably tell that person what he didn't like, so that person would know what to improve on.
