Awesome 🥰

[@Ms12Jones22]

😂 you all need to go back and do a story on Williams taking the money and refusing to gift The ones that Lee asked her to blessed.

[@mybookoflife748]

@1:44 I was just with her at absolutely edible lol

[@TwistedLyfofTV]

Am I the only one who thinking waiting three hours and you're the first person is ridiculous. Unless she came before they opened that makes no sense

[@taipan1234]

I love the fact that he (Keith Lee) supports Black Owned Businesses, and he always make sure he visits them regularly 💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾...

[@dinkleberg4581]

😂

[@imacarguy4065]

Predominantly black. He has gone to and given great reviews to Indo-Caribbean ran restaurants and South Asian restaurants and probably other communities too. I just know about the brown people because it was a "huge deal" in our community. At least on Social Media.

[@thagrandpubah]

He supports all types of businesses -no matter the race.

Amen

Amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't get the whole influencer thing....

[@itsPhD]

lol

[@thaphilosopher2012]

does he have credentials?

[@Tremelle_]

Does he need it to give his opinion on food he’s trying? You got credentials to post comments?

[@thaphilosopher2012]

@@Tremelle_ yeah, to post him on the news

[@Tremelle_]

@@thaphilosopher2012 incorrect.

[@ChiefPettyOfficer]

He has a following of loyal supporters. Few people actually care about professional critics in the age of social media.

[@tg5870]

No. He's a former boxer who just loves food. I think the way he actually talks about the food in laymen terms makes more sense. Then because he's also a Christian, it's also his mission to also give to the family ownered places he eats if he thoroughly enjoys by blessing them with money as well.

[@efunkyman6853]

Pretty sure Kieth stays out my area. Good! I don't want his "effect" here.

[@585grizzley]

You don’t want local business to grow?

@@efunkyman6853 Reality is that only 0.03% of black people are convicted of violence crime. Reality is the majority of black people aren’t involved in those crimes. Stop listening to the media

soy boy cry baby

[@locotx215]

No one cares. How is this such a big deal? It's not like he's a chef or a restaurant owner . . . it makes no sense why people are following him like he's God almighty

[@mybookoflife748]

Wow. You are big mad

[@Usermx2005-.]

You care! Other wise you wouldn’t be on here?

[@Recalescent1]

Love it❤

[@ChiefPettyOfficer]

Because he’s a good person with a great personality. You wouldn’t understand, probably.

He must have smashed yo girl. 😂😂

You!
