TikTok sensation Keith Lee coming to Arizona, asks followers for suggestions

📲 Keith Lee, the former MMA fighter turned food critic whose TikTok videos are followed by more than 15 million people, is coming to check out restaurants in Arizona.

Recommendations sought

In a social media post, Lee says he’s looking for recommendations in four categories:

  • ‘‘Mom-and-pop’’ spots with good food that need marketing help;
  • Popular spots (as voted on via his social media channels);
  • Restaurants representing different cultures or ethnicities;
  • Most popular restaurants on DoorDash.

Lee orders his meals to go, then eats and films his no-frills reviews in his vehicle. A favorable review can spur thousands of his fans to visit a restaurant the next day.

Lee gave no indication when he will be in Arizona (presumably the Valley).

Did you know?

Lee’s two most recent trips – to Atlanta and Houston – generated considerable backlash when he wasn’t impressed by some local favorites.
