How TikTok Food Critic Keith Lee Resuscitated a Struggling Restaurant

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Keith Lee, a Las Vegas food critic, proved just how powerful his influence was when his review dramatically turned things around for a struggling family-owned restaurant. That single video changed everything for Frankenson’s in just 24 hours. Now lines to get food are around the corner. “I've helped restaurants in Vegas before,” Keith Lee told Inside Edition’s Andrea Swindall. “But I feel like this one was probably the craziest as far as the response we've had.”
This is the type of influencer I like to see making business restaurants grow. I’m happy the both of them.
@frlla6 i mean most times he basically pays for whatever he eats
But maybe tiktok is paying him for content
I really hope both influencer and business have a successful relationship moving forward!
@@promisen8460 he’s definitely making less then what the restaurant owner been making cuz of him
i can confirm that food sure is delicious
hope he doesn't call out the name the restaurant if he tasted bad
My dads restaurant!!!!
I’m so happy and grateful to Keith and all the customers!!!! We love you ! Thank you for making my dads dreams come true
That is not your dad…
@@sandlotkrew8778
Actually it is my Dad, I have no reason to lie and if you actually do some research you can actually see that I am his daughter
@@hughjass5583
That is my Dad, I have no reason to lie and you can even do some research and see ☺️
@@sandlotkrew8778 take your negative energy somewhere else. Its not wanted here
@@symanthasteele congratulations my dear, I hope your dad's business continues to do well 😊
The thing he said about the chicken wings 😭 “I made more chicken wings in 12hours then I did in the last 4months” man that’s just heartbreaking hope it does well from now on
Now it will be about getting repeat customers. If the food is really that good and the customer service is phenomenal, they'll do well. Not as strong as it is with the hype but more than enough that they can get revenue to keep the restaurant going
May he continue to sell more wings etc...what a blessing
@@hilenikullakapepo9338 Amen!
Being a food critic isn't even that easy, you need to gain trust in it, many viewers came because they trusted him of every word he says, if he says it's delicious then it's delicious.
but if his opinion is it's not nice then noone turns up based one man's word.
Yeah and you also need to tell the audience what types of foods you don't like and which ones you respond well too.
This is so dangerous.
But y'all too st00pid to realize that.
@@AlainnCorcaigh yeah that’s basically a food critic
This is true he needs to collab with Gordon Ramsey lol
When the owner said the restaurant was a dream of his for over 30 years, I cried a bit. I felt that. And I want to try this guys wings!
I like you
I cried too ❤
If anyone deserves "free food for life" it's this man. Congratulations to Frankensens and Keith as well👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No
He always pays for every meal he reviews though and he doesn’t tell them who he is. He never expects free food for a review which is another reason he’s so charismatic. He is up front about it all. Always tells you the cost and what he paid.
RIGHT!! At least a years worth haha
What about those without money or food. Do they deserve it?
The same thing for the Popeyes chicken sandwich guy. No one even knew about it untill he said that it’s possible better than Chick-fil-A
That's amazing. You could see in his eyes that he ain't lying. Food must be *fantastic*
You can check his videos he’s always telling the owners that he will judge the food even if it’s bad to make sure they improve as food critics or just won’t tell them that he’s a good reviewer
He’s a genuine dude and I love his videos for that
Yeaaaaaah, shoot. I’m wanting to fly to Las Vegas for this food it looks so good
Thought he s gonna cry 😭
Food is subjective to begin with,
"HMM FOOD GOOOOOOOOOOD"
"HMMMMMMMM FOOD BAAAAAAAAD".
I AM FOOD CRITIC
This guy blew up and deserves it.
His PR team does
@@waxmax0I don’t think he has one
He was a professional mma fighter under Bellator, quit that to do TikTok food Reviews
@@Mndsets What an absolute Chad!
he blew up what a tragedy
This is literally the type of influencer the world can benefit from. He’s helping small businesses reach their potential and create jobs for people. This brother is wise, he saw a need in the food service industry and addressed it. Like he said, the food was of decent quality, but they weren’t marketing their products and probably didn’t have the budget for it. Now they have a better budget for marketing and hiring additional staff if needed.
At least with what he is eating ain't from that pickle girl at least he won't get food poisoning..
"Decent quality." Word?
Decent?😒
This and the guy trying to sell his book as well
Keith’s smile when the owner was embracing and shaking him is everything ❤
Proof positive that supporting local restaurants works!
Local businesses 👍🏾
@@HelloSeptmember only the good ones though
True
No, it doesnt.
Support anything that isn't a global corporation
The Fact He Was An MMA Fighter To Being A Food Influencer Is Absolutely Amazing 🥰♥️. Proud Of You Keith, Keep It Up!!! 🎉🎉🎉
His brother is Kevin Lee former UFC fighter
Good to see someone influencing for the real reasons and not just clout chasing. Mad respect to Keith, i really want to try that pizza now!
This is the comment i was looking for
Or scammers like Logan Paul/Ice Possi
And the wings too! Next time I’m in Vegas!
@@beastybear4499 How is he scamming??
@@battlerudee scammin
Watching this felt so nice. They both brought each other up and looks like none of them really expected it.
Ikr! Talk about a “feel good” story! 😊
What a beautiful story! Seeing the owner crying tears of joy is just so heartwarming. Props to the influencer for creating a beautiful moment in time ❤️
A lot of these small places could use a lot of help. That’s good that you helped that restaurant. Good things will come for all who help each other
Always support small businesses
Been following Keith for awhile now and not because of his review on food but because he's an MMA fighter. It's good to see him get some shine.
Really? I love MMA but I never heard of Keith. But he's so small and I woulda never guessed that he's a fighter, even tho I know they have fly weight too
@@macafe7160 He use to fight for Bellator and his brother Kevin fights for the UFC.
@@TappaTop that's crazy bro, I was thinking to myself he looks exactly like Kevin Lee 😂
@@TappaTop damn,that explain why he looks familiar 🤣
An influencer using his platform to change lives and do good. I love it!!!❤❤❤
Also, I giggled when he got up from the Pup Patrol chair. A man not staging his background. That's an authentic guy. 😊
WE TRULY LOVE TO SEE IT!!!! I giggled too!!! 😂🥹
I follow Keith on Instagram & saw this story. But what initially drew me to his page was the fact the he cooks REALLY great homemade dishes. BUT he's also an MMA fighter! His family is gorgeous & I wish them nothing but the best!❤❤
What is his IG?
This the type of food eating content I approve of!
No grossly gorging on excessive mounds of fat and oils with little to no substance in actual entertainment but critiquing good food with worthwhile and valuable information for the the viewers while also potentially helping out the restaurants they eat from!
This is what a true influencer is! Not some hollow carbon copy.
I hope he'll be able to continue doing his reviews the way he wants to and also helping out many restaurants while he's at it!
This is proof that kindness goes a long way they both didn’t know who each other was but had kind hearts
He’s been so spoken about his social anxiety, and how it took him hours to even say a word on camera . Now look what a Sucess he is , in absolutely happy for him 🤝🤜🤛💪
That's interesting. Amazing indeed
I wanted to cry watching his tik tok. His energy was so pure and sweet
" He's been so outspoken about"
@@amokofi34 Congrats ! You made it past 1st grade and you want to flaunt your lame ass vocabulary lol. I can correct things too, I can correct your face from how it is into another way 😂.
Two winning stories, for both restauran owners and Keith. This is so wholesome! Definitely the kind of news we need
He’s so genuine and kind , we need more influencers like him 😭❤️❤️
Now let's make this Keith Lee full time job, no need for him to do anything else, he has help others now let's help him.
no
Nah
Not helping a 🐒
Nah
yea
This is the perfect time to recirculate this. So many people get caught up in the hype and forget the core of what someone is about. Love this family.💖🤗
Keith has done more for struggling family owned businesses and small start-up restaurants than most creators with bigger backing and production budget. Truly a kind and genuine individual.
Thank you for using your platform to help a wonderful man like Frank!! Awesome
Keith deserves everything in the world
He’s a great guy who cares for small businesses
This is what people who follow influencers should do, help out family businesses that deserve it, 1 person just saved the future of an entire family
that's profound 🧐
a man that reviews food from a pawpatrol kids chair? I'll believe what he says over some fancy food reviewer all day. I don't have tiktok but this is one of the ways i think its put to good use.
I could NEVER be a food reviewer like this guy. I'm the type of guy who'd be "this food is delicious, this other food is delicious, y'all hate this place but their food is delicious, this dumpster place's food I'd delicious as well"
Same I’d be the worst 😅 I love food
Me too. I'm a worst critic
LMAO this is so me..I used to give every service I got 5 stars until my husband reminded me I was doing them dis-service because he said "where is the room for improvement"✋🤧💀😭😩
My mentality: Damn this food taste better, *eats another* damn this food tastes better _the cycle continues_
Lol same. It would be so hard to think of what to say. "It's good because it's delicious"
I saw this tiktok in real time. It is so crazy how fast you can go viral for any reason. It’s absolutely heartwarming to see that this was for absolute GREAT reason! I pray that they ALL continue to soar and prosper ❤️❤️❤️
This is what playing it forward means! God bless them both!!
Tears of joy for the owner and this young good soul
Ty god
Love this for everyone involved. Keith getting recognized, that awesome restaurant getting the attention it deserves. So amazing!!
I ❤️ stories like this.. wish them all the success, both the business and the young man.
He seems like such a good genuine guy and I really hope he makes it to a full-time food reviewer!
Damn this story gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside
Great customer service gives that little extra taste in food
i still cry when I saw it again
He seems really nice. It's sad that he's getting violent threats from bad restaurant owners.
Love seeing him on people vs food. He is an awesome guy
See if all influencers were like this dude. The world would be a better place..Bless you brother and bless the food chain..may you have success always🙌🏻
This put a smile on my face. We need more stories like these❤
This is what an influencer should be. This amazing! So many amazing hole in the walls die because just like he said was about marketing. I love this story!
I love Keith. He's a great guy, truthful, and incredibly wholesome
that's awesome, I lived and struggled myself living in Las Vegas. I'm so happy he was able to help him ❤️
I came from a reel to see if I could find an update and I couldnt be happier for them!
❤this is a great story because it's about someone using his influence to do good. thank you for this.❤
Love him as an influencer he’s real and uses his platform responsibly
👏🏽.. and very respectful when giving a not so pleasant review..
It’s so nice to see amazing things happen for so many people for simply enjoying what you love.
That's awesome. This story brought tears to my eyes. Young man you saved a family business and I know they will be forever grateful for that .🙏 🙌
If you’re that good, you deserve it! It’s sad how awesome food & epic service can go unheard of then in the blink of an eye, social media can turn it all around.
It’s like this food place we found by accident. We started telling our friends & family about it and I’m sure word of mouth went from friend to friend then we noticed from being one of the few customers, to waiting room only!
Definitely one thing we should learn. We should always support small businesses. That really got to me when Keith mentioned that restaurant originally barely had any customers to pay their rent but now they making money to actually keep their business going. I wish that establishment all the success
Frank can hire more workers now 🤘
I hope keith becomes one of those food reviewers that travel the world on tv
See this is the positive side of the internet. This is what the internment does to connect us all that changes us from strangers to legit family. I love it so much. Food looks amazing too.
The power of social media!!!...
Wow, it's great to see such a positive news! Congrats to Keith and Frank, you guys deserve it 🙏🏻💕 keep on doing the good work, God bless you 😇🙏🏻
Now this is the content i love to see on youtube. About to go subscribe to him now
That's so dope!!! Keith, a whole blessing
“Mama we made it” 😂 u made a mans dream come true.. truly a blessing
Wow......amazing how this many made a comeback for this restaurant! Proves that influencers can make great impact for communities and struggling restaurants!
Thank you, Keith!!!much love from Illinois...👏♥️🙏
I love this❤❤❤preparation meets opportunity
Inspiring! He's just doing his usual food vlog and the restaurant happens to serve great food! They both deserved the success! Happy for both of them!
This is awesome! Pray Keith also succeeds and prosper the way he deserves. Wonderful young man.
Thank you Mr Lee for putting your video out there and helping them so much I'm proud of you
Keep up what your doing keith lee changing helping lives. The world needs mire people like you .
When I was on IG (been off since 2021) - loved watching Keith and his family, particularly with him cooking for them with love. I'm happy to see he's still doing great things 🙏🏾❤️
🥺 aww this makes me want to cry. I hope we have a lot more moments like this in 2023. I hope this is the year where humanity stops being toxic
Keith is the 🐐
This is what the world needs …. Influencers like this ….. you’re the man
Honestly, I believe his reviews as honest because the food in this video looks SO good.
this was the reason why i started watching keith lee for helping this mans business
This is what an influencer should be. What a great young man
Right❤
They need to keep him on the show "PEOPLE VS FOOD" OR FOOD REACTS! Saw him in 1 video 2 weeks ago and loved his energy immediately. Cheers to Keith 🔥
👏👏👏👏👏 love to see all the great blessings this world and people can offer ❤️ kindness and unity that's true greatness
wow, I am tearing up.
I am big fan of Keith Lee and one day in the future I hope meet in person. Keith Lee will have bright future ahead of him!
Good job man, also I’m glad the owner of the restaurant caught the break he worked for.
Who says bad news travels faster than good news. Congratulations to you both!
I love this story so much. My fiance owns a small sushi restaurant and it's TOUGH! Rising food costs on top of being a single mother of 4 with NO help from the kids father. She is my inspiration. And on top of it all she is the kindest sweetest person I know.
You just wanted to cry about being a single mom.
Seeing the owner tear up touched my heart. God bless that man for not giving up and Keith Lee for giving him honest support
wow finally a truly heart warming story from Tik Tok. I hope this story gets all the way to Gordan Ramsey.
Keith is a very likeable man. He connects well with people.
Much success and health to all.
This is amazing. What a kind soul and the even the great soul, the owner. This is beautiful.
Where does Kevin lee’s brother fit into all this
I just found out about Keith Lee after he went to Atlanta. He didn't have a good experience. All they had to do was fix what wasn't working, then invite him back later . 😢
This video warmed my heart!
Awesome! Great food is everywhere you just need to go out and find it
Makes me emotional, there’s still good people out here.
I love this part of the internet, supportive, kinda and ready to help one another. Beautiful❤
Now THIS is an influencer.
Not someone just marketing a product with some crappy cheese caption to it.
Aww it’s such a blessing to see him help grow struggling small businesses
This is the kind of influencer I can back. Thank you so much for helping struggling small businesses!
So awesome that he changed that families life and help that man continue his dream! Such a cool story and Im sure that Keith has a new friend for life!
More good things need to happen to good people. Let’s make all these places go viral!
What amazes me more is that there is no DISLIKES in this video!!!
This literally made me cry 😭
