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

[@Ksgr867]

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

[@andyhu7205]

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. I’m glad that Keith Lee is honest in his reviews, and I’m equally glad to have been raised in the Motor City, too!

But that was just short term happiness, that shit makes you worse off. I made bad decisions and the ones that were seemingly good, I did for the wrong reasons. As if proving something I don't care about to someone because they questioned my ability will make my life better. I was fucking stupid, I made ignorance look like a lifelong skill Ive been working on. Be honest with yourself. And yes sometimes a good woman can make the change feel like a blessing rather than a trial to go through. I hope people see him as that, an inspiration. More power to him.

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.

[@masinalima]

he is such a good example of finding yourself, which leads to your life purpose, and then following it through

[@theoriginalbreakage]

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

[@vae884]

I checked him out cause so many people were mad about his bad atl reviews and i found his actual videos to be really straightforward and objective, and hearing what some of these atl restaurants are like is crazy. I didn't even know there was such insane rules like this. How are you gonna be in the hospitality business if you are inhospitable to your customers?

[@nf7089]

He's humble and honest. His opinion cannot be bought and that's worth more than gold.

[@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]

Fr

[@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.

[@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.

[@sneepsnopboi2916]

​@vcalv9354 Not trying to be rude or anything but im not sure what this had to add to the original comment,, Or I guess you're just sharing your experiences nvm have a nice day

[@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.

[@chillyman7340]

"the internet made the right person famous" that is a really good quote for someone who has a positive message 🔥

[@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.

[@espriellarose]

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

[@triggerfish9967]

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

[@langolier9]

At first, I really didn’t wanna like this guy and now halfway through I really really like him but I’m afraid there’s gonna be a third act that may be a downfall. You’re so good at making things twice as interesting as they might actually be you. You have the perfect voice for this.❤❤

[@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

[@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.

[@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 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@gotsnoname]

The internet did make the right person famous, just like they have with you Mr. Patrick CC Your Documentaries are at the top of my and many others top list keep doing what you do, much love from Cali

[@charlie_unluckyngatuakana1034]

The inception of this video is funny to me cause I actually trust your word about people I don't know aswell. I can tell how genuine you are when making videos about people. Stay hydrated my guy 🔥🔥

[@monadejaneiro]

Wow!!! This was very well put together and Keith seems like a great guy. I just came across his TikTok when he reviewed the Mike & honey place. Yeah he had social media on fire that day lol

[@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!

[@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.

[@futuristic.handgun]

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

[@chrise8275]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@randomyoutuber2633]

This man has POWER and he got it all from the food industry, him and Ramsey two top tier beasts when it comes to food

[@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."

[@lestershenk924]

This what I like to see ... people doing good being good .. keep it up man .... great video .

[@Sevensliders]

Great documentary. Only seen this video and I loved your handling of the matter.

[@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

[@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.

[@pinviewapp8908]

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

[@mattleach9957]

UPVOTE THIS he should create an app for struggling restaurants and people can review them And then other community members can support the restaurant so they can survive

[@crytkryssus9851]

Honestly, good for this guy, glad he's doing this instead of fighting (nothing against those that do), since it means less worry on his wife, and kid, over him getting hurt, or any future medical issues.

[@av8er71]

What a heartwarming story. Good job, man.

[@i_Chronikally]

It’s mad impressive how humble He is.

[@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.

[@19indecisive19]

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

[@rcopeland96]

The Internet made the right person famous. Absolutely love your last statement. And I agree 💯 %!! Really enjoyed this video. Thanks Patrick!

[@stephan-mc5sh]

Yeah we're screwed out here in Houston I mainly just eat at subway here😂

[@omargetem1672]

im not saying this guy isn't a good humble dude. but I wish everyone who watches this video somehow is lucky enough to find a support system like him and glow up. Wife, family, management. job ect. Tbh he just seems like a good guy who got lucky enough to do what he loves. Unfortunately most of us are not going to have it so easy. Our bad habits and poor decision making may not be bailed out by a good support system. Stay strong kings.

[@ariesmry]

Honestly, yea. A lot of it is luck, but some of it is also the internal work. Knowing what you value and stand for and seeing everyday as an opportunity to grow. If you do the latter, sometimes you may find your luck increasing.

[@thecour8379]

One of the few comments on here that only show true peace and love man. Thanks!
