    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

      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

If Keith Lee gave a straight up 10.0 on his reviews for a sponsorship like WingStop then that'd be selling out, but Keith didn't even give a rating for his WingStop reviews; he just ranked them in 1st 2nd and 3rd and talked about his experience like every other video.

    I've never heard of this man and he's already quite inspirational to me. I've made the same mistakes. Bad kid, got expelled from several schools and in a country as small as where I'm from that meant I had to leave it and my family, I got addicted heavy to weed, it felt like my only source of peace. 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.

    @andyhu7205 Год назад +14

    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!

    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.

    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."

      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
      @s0ne01 Год назад +1

      @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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

      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.

      @@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.

      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.
