The Keith Lee Effect

[@wheresyourscooter1628]

As a black person, the childish belief that black ppl/businesses/etc. aren’t allowed to be rightfully criticized bc it’s “divisive” is very asinine

[@apointlesspyro]

exactly because it simply has nothing to do with race whatsoever, doesn’t matter if you’re white or black or asian or hispanic etc. if your service/food/attitude is poor then you deserve to be criticized on it, it’s bewildering watching grown men babble over such a simple concept, it’s fair criticism regardless of what you look like

One BlCk person to another, let's keep it real. Across the African diaspora in general (Jamaican , American , Nigerian etc) too many of our businesses have extremely poor customer service . How the employees are treated is a whole other story

Being black doesn’t make you immune to criticism. It’s not racist to criticize black people unless you are doing it solely on the basis of them being black. People have the right to their opinions, and when it comes to food, people like different stuff! Food is a very subjective experience. But customer service isn’t. It’s not really hard to be polite when you have minimal interactions with people. I’ve worked in restaurants since I was 13, never got a bad review on my service. Not even when I literally miscarried on shift, a very wanted child. It’s very easy to just be nice to people, even if you’re having a bad day. You probably won’t have to ever see this person again so it helps to just give them a decent dining experience and send them on their way.

[@whoahanant]

I think what makes his reviews so likable is that he actually feels and sounds like a normal ass person. As everyone knows every hobby and business on earth has it's own "higher tier" or "proffessional" in general. You have your basic or new people to said hobby/business and then you have experienced hobbiests/proffessionals in these spaces. The lingo and terms are usually different from what you'd hear on average and usually have alot of time and research put into it all. So your average person who doesn't sew or new person to said hobby/business, probably has no idea wtf is going on when watching a proffessional quilt maker, designer, seamstress, cosplayer or all the other subsections of the hobby. You have no idea what they're talkimg about or how you yourself can even judge any of it. That's how watching certain proffessional food critics feels like. But with Keith Lees reviews you don't feel any of that. It feels good to hear a guy who knows enough about good food to just give you a simple ass break down as if you were talking to your friend. The reviews are quick to the point, don't feel snobbish and completely clear to the average person. So of course lots of people who like food would flock to that kind of content because no matter who you are you can understand and consume these reviews quick and easy.

this is the type of story i love. what a great guy. never gave up and did what he had to do and didnt let fame get to his head. also love how chill he is - hes not screaming in your face like lots of other reviewers or being super over the top to the point you know theyre lying. gonna have to check him out!

[@rachaelthurston629]

I'm only half way through, never heard of this man but already a HUGE fan. What an absolute legend. Unbreakable.

[@jeymfnflizzy6076]

I live in ATL and the black owned restaurants out here notorious for bad costumer service this was a wake up call for them because it is truly annoying

[@CaulkMongler]

I think it’s just… humorous that a guy could post his objective, honest review and people think any sort of negative review is grounds enough to send actual death threats to some of these restaurants.

[@LUOKER_]

I wish Keith would come to more rural towns, places like where I live pay a lot of attention to being respectful and making good food. He should come to Athens, OH.

[@frankanderson3368]

All Keith is doing is telling the truth! Props to him. I actually put my name as Keith lee on uber and my quesadilla had the most protein I've ever gotten from that spot.

[@evelynwashere13]

😂😂😂😂

[@laharlkent]

I'm out Boston way and I might try that.

[@maplelump]

First time I ever saw him on my FYP was him talking about how he didn't get anything to eat at a Gordan Ramsey restaurant because they couldn't guarantee no cross contamination with shellfish, which he's horribly allergic to. He saw health code issues, and spoke bluntly about it, all I thought was "DAMN, never going to that place, that sounds horrific." Next one was the pizza place, and seeing the effect his positive review had just made me want to try it. I notice that even when he gives something a low rating, he will say "but I don't like the texture, you might, and could really like it."

[@zeroman237]

wow I didn't know about this guy until this video but this man deserves his success. Worked hard, didn't quit, stayed humble.

[@solluxcaptor6823]

I first heard about Keith Lee after the Milk and Honey drama in Atlanta. Then I kinda fell down the Keith Lee rabbit hole.

[@bananapeppers5105]

I love the fact patrick is getting the recognition he deserves with these very in depth and interesting videos. I always learn something new from him even when i think i know everything

[@AGCMII]

I think everyone can agree Keith is truly a started from the bottom now we’re here kinda story. This overall outline was perfectly organized. By highlighting his childhood which helped in understanding where he came from. Overall a very dope video

This is the type of content people should be putting out.

[@petergriffiinbirdistheword]

As a Black person, I have been both annoyed and frustrated with black businesses and I live in the DMV. The food is always scary expensive and some restaurants have incredible rude staff (not all tho). I just wish they'd cater more to the community they serve, meaning.. prices we can actually afford.

[@vcalv9354]

As a Hispanic man I don't have this problem at the Mexican restaurants or the plethora of burrito shops where I live. Usually, I pull up to the drive through and it's a 45 year old man with a couple kids who is as high as I am so always chill and the food is almost always good.

[@awesomeirlable]

It’s the same if not worse in Atlanta

[@awesomeirlable]

@@vcalv9354I feel like it depends on the type of Hispanic restaurant. Mexican / Salvadoran restaurant employees are typically down to earth and offer reasonably priced food. I can’t say the same about the Venezuelan/ Dominican restaurants that I’ve been to.

[@magnuskane246]

Because the majority don't understand long term business. They see selling it for the most profit, at the least cost to them as how people make it when it's the exact opposite. You need to have fair prices, good food and great hospitality to make it in the service industry. That means losing out on money your first few years, which they don't seem to understand. If you are in for a quick buck you might as well not even setup shop. You'll be pushed out once everyone realizes it.

I teared up at the end, Keith really seems like such a humble and nice guy. Great video as always!

[@kuromigirly3]

I love Keith Lee! He actually helped me (without knowing) out of my funk. He gave me entertainment and a lot of inspiration for life and honestly don't know if I would've made it out of dark times without just general goodness and hope he brings. It wasn't just him it was a lot of people who helped me, but entertainers def helped me escape and inspire me to keep going.

[@chrise8275]

It’s nice that Keith regularly gives big tips to small businesses, it’s heard warming!!!!!

[@triggerfish9967]

We need more people like Keith Lee. Thank you for introducing this man on your channel.

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

I'm so glad someone is posting the Atlanta stuff. That kind of service is typical annoying "just trying to get some bloody food" sort of thing we all experience

[@adotfrmda5]

he keeps it real and respectful no matter what. that's why ppl luv him

[@seesee5363]

People love them because you all are blind. Followers. Who love whatever you see other people loving on social media,

[@s0ne01]

[@rosxjun]

I must've been living under a rock because I legit had no idea who he was but glad I do now.

[@fazormcghee7936]

Not really. There are hundreds of food reviewers on social media that are honest and respectful that will never reach his level. The truth is there's a lot of little things he did along the way that just lined up very well for him that landed him in the position he is in. He was already kind of known from his UFC fighting and was good at it. Then while there he built a wholesome social media reputation of being a family man. Then he slowly built his reputation of being an honest and respectful food reviewer and stayed consistent with it. It takes a lot of small moving pieces to make one machine work.

[@s0ne01]

@fazormcghee7936 true alot of it is luck. But the reason people love him is that he ain't afraid to give a bad and at times a terrible review, which is why alot of spots are wary of him(a bad review from him could ruin them). Which is something other reviewers don't really do it's either positive or average. I don't think I've ever seen another reviewer straight up say the food was bad.

[@dabsanyone3752]

I like Keith Lee and I value his criticism of establishments

[@abs2fast2furios]

Bruh, i remember hearing Kevin Lee talk about his little brother blowing up on TikTok. Now Keith Lee bigger than Kevin ever was 😂

[@Darksagan]

I am happy for Keith I remember him back when he first started and it had to suck being in Kevin's shadow. Its inspiring seeing how far he has come and has still stayed humble. I hope Kevin can turn his life around also. Great piece Patrick.

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

He has. Kevin converted to Islam a couple years ago.

[@BlueLoveYT]

I haven't seen much Keith Lee, but he sounds like an amazing individual. It warms my heart seeing someone supporting local businesses, giving honest reviews, giving to those in need, supporting a family, and encouraging restaurants to provide equal service to customers.

[@kycamp1959]

I never knew he was into martial arts. The way he acts and his demeanor is the total opposite of someone who likes to fight for a living

[@HellYeahDude5000]

His brother is Kevin Lee they both are/were MMA fighters. Kevin made it into the UFC

[@awaister]

That’s nothing but a stereotype bro, most fighters are chill and humble without a sense of self importance or ego because its a real blue collar sport, most fighters are living paycheck to paycheck usually working another job just to support their careers except for those who make it to the top and earn real money

[@daboy5256]

Plus man marital arts does that to you it helps you stay centered and humble, keeps your ego in check

[@diodelvino3048]

He DEFINETLY was into it for a while, taking a SHORT NOTICE fight vs someone like Raufeon Stots takes alot of bravery.

[@demonicar]

“Not a professional food critic” I think recent years have proven that “professional” critics are the worst possible source to base your opinions on food, movies or games etc.

[@SpartanOfLuxon]

I respect the fact that he once was struggling for money but now that he has an abundance of it he hasn't changed.

[@C4M3R0N_B]

You're awesome for shedding light on people doing positive things in the world, I had never heard of Keith Lee but I'm a fan now. Much love Patrick, thanks for all the work you put into your videos!

[@youtubeisboring9709]

"We don't want him critiquing our restaurants" translation: "We don't want to be held accountable for our horrible customer service." Imagine having a big influencer critiquing your restaurant saying they don't like the wait time and you wait for it.... try to do something about it. You can easily use a negative review by Keith lee to gain customers if you show that you are open to criticism and willing to change. People love an underdog esp in America, so you can use his platform to your advantage.

[@futuristic.handgun]

This man sounds like such an amazing person!! He deserves everything he's worked towards and everything he's gotten!! 💓

[@MichelePonte]

Funny thing: here in Thailand the restaurant might sue you for a bar review

[@Lo0406]

Can’t lie didn’t know where you was going with this cause no Keith Lee bad talk is allowed but this is very well played. I’m from ATL and he told not one lie 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@pinviewapp8908]

I think the most impressive part ab all this is bro’s perseverance . He never gave up and kept striving towards success 💪🏾

[@19indecisive19]

I rate this channel. Brilliant narration, brilliant stories and brilliant production value. You're a legend Patrick!

[@lwills8609]

I loved YOUR review. I had never heard of Keith Lee until all heck broke loose when he was here. I am so happy for the businesses that get it and was helped by his reviews. I am also happy for the businesses that received the helpful reviews. They should take the reviews and make the necessary changes. Listen to the public because they are your customers. You essentially work for them. You need them, they do not need you. I had a second hand embarrassment by the behavior of the people that calls Metro Atlanta their home. Keith seems like a humble guy. I pray he continues to let YHWH lead him and not be influenced or changed by the world around him.

[@shereeluckett1095]

The fact that he started off as a young cocky kid only to become a humble successful content creator while his brother went from a humble young athlete to become an ufc athlete at the top only to lose it all because he became a arrogant cocky fighter is a crazy story. Keith really showed his brothers what’s what
