It’s true! I went to the Atlanta Breakfast Club. They told us that it would be a two hour wait. We went to the Civil Rights Museum hungry. Toured the entire museum then came back. You still have to wait for your food. It was very basic. Very gimmicky. More of a club atmosphere and a social media photo shoot.

Ocho's point of view is so problematic... So because its a black owned restaurant it should not be critcised

[@brite1217]

He’s just up in his feelings. Give him time and he won’t be as upset about this. He’s a very emotional person. You can tell his emotions control him more than logic. I get it. I’m like him. He will eventually calm down and realize he’s wrong on this take

[@monte1707]

His view point is ignorant instead of learning what the man does he gets in his feelings.

[@TheKingofKings2272]

That’s the same argument Stephen A used when someone stole from the football team when Deion was still at Jackson State. He didn’t want it to be reported on because it looked bad on HBCU’s, but the way I see it truth is truth. We can’t give people special treatment when because of their race, then also be demanding equality in the next breath

[@montrealmitchell6694]

Chad was extremely unprepared for this and it shows in his logic. If he had done his research he would have seen that Keith was totally against anyone speaking negatively about these establishments, he urged them to try it for themselves because their experience may be different. Also, Chad of course your experience was great in Atlanta, you are a celebrity. Keith is the perfect person to be a food critic because he reviews food from the perspective of an average person going to restaurant and that is why he had an issue with them pulling out all the stops when they realized it was him because what that means is that if i was an average joe I would not have gotten that same service.

[@rodneyhearst4821]

Part of the reason we fall short as a culture is because of opinions like Ocho has on this subject. We have to do better. I support Black Business daily. If the service is bad, it needs to be known. So we can improve. It's called constructive criticism.

[@theliverpoolking2259]

You can tell Chad has never watched a Keith Lee video in his life lmao. This man has literally criticized Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant 😂😂😂. Atlanta is just terrible with the food scene. Simple as that.

Not only is he wrong he doesn’t even watch Keith Lee content. Because most of his reviews are positive. The negative is what is getting magnified and highlighted.

And building trust in his opinions are built by not being biased based on race, religion, sex, orientation, etc.

[@MrThejboe3oh5]

Just shows how unaware of people having opinions majority are and base judgment on others opinions rather than their own..What one person doesnt like,someone might love.Thats all reviews or critiques are ..now if a well established,well cultured,world traveled and educated chef with a vast pallet and major in business management is reviewing it may be something to take into consideration.People crying because someone has an opinion is ridiculous..especially someone who is known for displaying free speech on the field

The craziest part is that Keith DID NOT LEAVE A BAD REVIEW! He even complimented the staff on their kindness! All he did was OBJECTIVELY describe his experience. People are only upset because they KNOW this is unacceptable. Additionally, he urges people to not only refrain from making negative reviews, but also go for themselves to form their own opinion! Ocho never sends things back or gives a negative opinion because he can AFFORD to do so. He has the luxury of being able to put up with a negative experience, because he can afford to give himself limitless positive ones whenever he wants. Keith has done nothing but uplift small black and brown businesses, ESPECIALLY because these businesses are what normal people frequent the most. It is so sad that people think that criticism in any capacity is negative instead of constructive. I pray that at the very least, people watch more of Keith Lee's videos to see how much good work he's done instead of tearing down his image.

As a former waitress that trained other waitresses, Keith Lee did the right thing. When you have people waiting an hour to two hours for a table that is added stress on the workers. No carryout or delivery, the owners are stressing out the workers. Believe me, I am going to be on point with service because I need my tips to live, but the owners are not providing an environment for the wait staff to shine or financially thrive . When folks wait 2 hours they become hangry. Keith Lee did not call out the service staff or the chefs, he called out the owners of the establishment for being understaffed

[@vabeach1740]

I was a waitress and bartender for 15 years back when there was NO AUTOMATIC gratuity / hourly pay was $2.11. My job was to give the best service to everyone because all the people I served paid my bills, most were nice and some were completely rude, run you around, camp out at your table and "GET STIFFED." In the service industry we all had a saying "you have to take the bitter with the sweet" at the end of my shift it always worked out and I made good money. If you can not deal with the "rude" then do not get in this business. My family have stopped going out to eat these last 3 years, because the service SUCKS, they act like they are doing me a favor by waiting on me and 90% of the time the FOOD is TERRIBLE. So they can all kick rocks because I am not going to PAY to get treated like crap and be served nasty food.

[@lifelessons2606]

It's clear that Ocho just doesn't like for black people to be criticized, no matter what. I am a black man, and I've worked in the service industry for years... and regardless of if it was a choice or not for me to work in it, one thing still remains the same. If you don't offer excellent customer service, then you won't have a job for long. I'm so sick and tired of this "empathy" for bad behavior. I'm not going to just accept terrible service because someone is having a bad day. And if I'm a business owner, I'm going to get those individuals out of my establishment as quickly as possible. Take your bad day somewhere else, get therapy, and figure it out. It sounds harsh, but the truth hurts. What's more disturbing is that Ocho is more concerned with his image (pride) rather than living in truth. Honestly, I don't know why Sharpe is trying to have a conversation with a guy that is already made up in his mind that even with the facts and simple common sense is presented, that he's still going to refute that information... Ocho is reprobate, and he needs to be left there. We all know what the word says about pride... it comes before a fall.

[@a55a55inx]

Businesses being affected by criticism isn't exclusive to restaurants Ocho. If you hold this position against criticism of restaurants, then logically you'll have to be against criticism of any kind. That means you can't talk bad about anything people sell: food, drinks, clothes, devices, movies etc, because it can directly affect their business.

[@charlesfowler174]

Chad completely wrong on this topic ignoring the customers that spending their hard earn money to receive good customer service and to have a good experience at these restaurants.

​@@Ms.Nicety​ if you're a food "critic" for a living you should critique what deserves to be critiqued, whether good or bad, period. Ocho is literally saying he should be biased and not say anything if a black owned business does bad publicly. So Keith is supposed to scrap his work just because he doesn't want to make us as a community look bad? Well guess what? It doesn't actually make us as a whole look bad and if you begin to even think it even implies so, then that's stupid. One bad experience at a black owned restaurant doesn't even begin to imply that all black owned are bad, just the particular one(s) he went to. Only people who wouldn't want to go to or support a Black owned business in the first place would believe that narrative anyway, so it wouldn't matter EVEN if he gave it a good review. If we don't want ourselves to look bad, then maybe we should provide good service like we(and everyone else) are supposed to do then. It's that simple.
