Y’all forgot his whole mission is to find struggling family owned restaurants and give them exposure…ppl are mad that he’s not going to famous places when that’s not his intention
its the way he structures his reviews, i think thats why people interpret it as him reviewing the state’s food bc i agree he doesn’t go to places that are already well liked on purpose
Bruh like how’d they skip this part. It’s not just “is there good food in NYC”. Did anyone google this man before this? This is a layup topic. He not goin to cities lookin for Michelin star shit
Let's start saying "this city gave me terrible referrals" instead of saying "the city didn't have good food. A salmon chopped cheese in NY was a terrible idea 😂
The point of Keith Lee's reviews is to find good struggling or hole in the wall spots , family owned restaurants, etc and help them by spreading the word. It's not suppose to be about showing off the best of the best that we already know of . I agree with not ordering a salmon chopped cheese tho 💯 cuz wtf
Is it on the menu? Are they serving it to the public and selling it so why would he not order it if he is a food critic ? Non of what you and them are saying makes any sense and while you believe it makes sense, its insanely stupid. If its on the menu its there for people to order and enjoy regardless of your nonsensical opinion. I got coffee at Mcdonalds the other day instead of starbucks which is a coffee establishment. Should it not have been good because MCdonalds is a burger restaurant or when I pie at dominos since they arent a pastry shop? His job is to critique food and if everything he eats is the greatest thing he has ever had then you obviously dont know what is the job of A CRITIC is!
DC has good food but it's not cheap. If it's cheap then it usually means it's bad because DC has been gentrified to the gills, so good hole in the wall, mom and pop spots can't survive in the city anymore. Also Keith Lee has a shellfish allergy and that's half of what bamas eat around here.😄
Facts, because people should know that we love our seafood. Yeah he needs to stay away from cities that are hard on seafood. So I guess no bmore for them as well. Which would save his life because he may not make it out of there unscathed 😂.
That is what someone recommended him! He was looking for black owned family restaurants with a small following! Do your research before making comments, you sound just as ignorant as parks! And we all know he’s useless!
I feel like someone set him up as a joke with that because usually people suggest the food items for him to try as well as the location . But it was a bad joke and look on our food if that is the case 😂
I'm from DC and he's right! Since my city was gentrified, a lot of the great eating spots have suffered or gone out of business. Some were black-owned. He's a good brother and I'm not mad at him
DC is a restaurant town. But really a carryout town. There are plenty carryouts, but a lot of them are just sustenance, nothing to write home about. DC for vibes, day partying and drinks lol
I stay in Buffalo couple hours from NYC….. I can promise you….. over the 10 times I’ve went I have NEVER heard or been recommended a damn salmon chopped cheese that’s disrespectful to your friend if you buy that.
The crazy part is…. It’s really not that bad… I get a chopped salmon (spicy) on a roll every now and then.. and one time, they added cheddar, Nd it actually slapped…. N I from Brooklyn!
Thank you Joe for clarifying that Keith is not a professional food critic. Ive had this conversation many times. He’s someone who expresses their opinion. his opinion is not based in food education but simply what he likes , and don’t like, for his own reasons. I am someone who works professionally as a chef an have competed on popular food competition shows and have sat as a judge. It’s refreshing to hear someone express the difference.
Thank you, this is what I said. Who in the h*&% is he to review food, really!!! He needed a job and became a self proclaimed food critic for clicks and revenue.
😂 yea your bias doesn’t show. And it’s clear you have never been to DC. Because DC has great food.. lololo you people falling for clickbait 😂 hater’s always hate bitch boi
The way Joe just SLOWLY froze off Flip's face at the very end....was SUPREMELY done. Joe didn't laugh not a single time, but jus said "If you get that 20 mil, I hope you say more than "my bad" when you are CONSECUTIVELY LATE FOR THE 90TH time.
Imagine making a great living just going around trying people food.. then imagine your opinion being so valuable it makes it to podcast for debate 😂😂🔥🔥
Born and raise in DC I'm sorry I love DC with all my heart but some of these restaurants is nasty. That's why I stopped eating out of some of DC resturants not wll bad. Keith, you didnt go to the Wharf, at all which has Hell's Kitchen is delicious. Dont be mad at this man just stop cooking all food in fish grease. 😅😂 What happened to inspectors going to these nasty resturants not all of them but some of them. Not mad but love some of DC resturants all them not bad.😮
Keith Lee had multiple options in independent restaurants. He is a person who came to a seafood city with a food allergy, on top of that didn’t have the respectable resources to search and find something better. He needs to start asking reputable people for spots atp in his career!
Mel asked a great question, Keith Lee does have a food allergy that he mentioned in his video which I think was important context on why he said what he said about DC's food
Gotta remember that when you're not from an area you don't know where to look. He's getting suggestions from his followers. My question are these suggestions coming from A. Ppl from the area B. Everyone doesn't have great taste buds C. Even in my hometown I've gone to a place that either had a good reputation but sometimes the food hasn't been up to snuff 🤷🏾♀️
A celebrity with security? When im talking about normal people. Even if you named 100 celebrities, how many tourist come to philly daily? And what % of that you think coming to the hood for food? Trying to be right and a contrarian is the worse shit on the internet. No matter what you say more people are not going to crime areas as visitors. Its simple logic
🐂 💩. It was all good just a week ago when he was going critiquing cities that y’all don’t really care for but as soon as he says something isn’t the best in a city that YOU happen to love, now it’s WW3?! Knock it off. There’s great food and horrible food in EVERY major city and to act like it’s not is bull sh!t
I just found out about Kieth Lee when he came to DC. I would’ve never heard of this guy had he never stepped foot inside the town. So let the brother do what he does. DC residents are unbothered🤣🤣🤣 It’s back to the party for us.
People take food reviews wayyy too seriously. Everyone has their own taste buds. Example: I like ketchup on my eggs. Some people agree with me and some people believe it’s a sin. Tons of people go crazy for crab legs. I have them sometimes but still feel like they are wayyy overrated. My point is I will never allow someone else’s opinion affect what I eat. It’s just silly
He came to the DMV. Baltimore was included. He cant eat any shellfish in a shellfish area. Like crabs or shrimp. And people will fry all fish in the same oil. Even the french fries. His critique on some places were insane because folks could tell by packaging their food was not great. And they responded. All his choices were by recommendation. I live in the DMV and there are some great places to eat. But a limited timeframe in a large area. So, the DMV had their chance.
Born and raised in DC. There’s some Great restaurants in the city and surrounding areas (MD and VA), but he’s not going to get the best experience or food ordering quick food to-go from food trucks and carryout joints.
@@willfromthepack3423 🤦🏾♂️ you can’t even get mumbo sauce at nice restaurants my G. Carryouts and Stan’s bar low key only spots I see Mumbo Sauce in abundance. We not even gonna mention dope spots in NOVA and MD.
@@cbshine I get that, but when people use his experience to build a narrative on the city, I just want to make sure they know the truth. I don’t think any cities chicken & waffle and wing spots and brunch spots are their best offers.
Keith Lee came to DC and they sent him to all hood Carryout’s around the way. The same Carryout that are in any hood in America. He didn’t got to any actual restaurants. Trust me I live and DC an we were looking like who sent him to the Carryout and how can you be from a hood period and not recognize hood Carryout’s
Be real nobody associate DC with good food 😂 most cities are not food cities like Chicago, NY, or New Orleans. I’m guessing the service was bad Keith didn’t want to show it AND repeat ATL
I'm from DMV moved to ATL and the casual food here is so much better, Keith Lee Ain pulling up to Michillin star restaurants bro ordering fried chicken and shit your just not getting top tier in DC
I lived in DC for almost a decade and they don’t have good local food. There are good high end restaurants, but not local mom and pop places. And mambo sauce is just tangy ketchup.
If a city is a good food spot then the general recommendation should be a good spot. Dudes be knowing the top niche spot and say a dude should have went there. Nah, the general spot should be dope in order to show that the elite spots are top-tier.
Everything is not for everybody. No he’s not a professional food critic. He judges based on HIS likes. He could say a place is fire, but doesn’t mean everyone else will like it. I’m from the DMV and we have great food here, BUT I’ve also had some bad food. Doesn’t mean the food here is trash.
Ppl come here to Philly and go to Pats and Genoes and say cheesesteaks overrated. Umm no. You went to 2 tourist spots that make horrible cheesesteaks. You didnt go to the places ppl from Philly tell u to go because no Philly native would ever recommend Pats and Genoes
Well y’all should start talking about the better spots because you are right I am one of those people that were pissed because I took my husband there for his bday and the steak and cheese was nasty as hell. Mad oily and they used cheese wiz. Who the fk uses cheese wiz for the SnC 😂😂😂 yuck 🤢
You’re just making that up or you’ve never watched him. He does his best not mention restaurants when the service is bad or the food is not good. Even when he does that, people still have a problem.
Keith Lee NEVER should have publicly "reviewed" food in the first place. The selling point of his content was never really about how good the food is. It was always about shining light on black restaurants that needed some attention. His team or him need to do a better job of scouting what restaurants to choose and what types of food you should get. And he needs to expand his palette a little bit.
I think the referrals are from the restaurants or family of hoping for the Keith Lee effect. I watched some of the videos for DMV and didn't hear him mention whether they were black owned businesses. In Atlanta, I think it was primarily. So my thoughts are he may want to vet who is referring...sometimes businesses regardless of the ethnicity expect the positive Keith Lee effect without the effort. I am sad he didn't get to experience some of the better spots...like Mama J's in Richmond VA...or Pho in Eden Center or Ben's Chili Bowl...I hope he comes back. To those giving referrals who he didn't feature, by looking at the food, he did them a kindness by not disclosing who they were. They can take his feedback and make changes or not. God Bless.
As a DMV resident, I can tell you that DC food "culture" falls into 2 types of places: Carry-Out, and "dining experience". There's really no food here that you can't get anywhere else. There's nothing DC is particularly known for in terms of food. There's no "signature dish" like 45min north in Baltimore where they are known for crabs, lobster, shrimp, and crab cakes. The carry out places have that stuff, but it's better in Baltimore. The "trendy" places are good for a night out on the town experience, but there's not a spot you would swear by to go to JUST for the food. By no means is what you get in DC horrible by any means, but there's nothing in the city or surrounding area (Arlington, Annandale, Alexandria, Falls Church, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, College Park) that stands out and is head above anything else available in any genre of food. There's tons of Pho places none of them significantly better than the next, tons of local Pizza places that have very average Pizza when compared to places known for Pizza, and the occasional hole in the wall spot that doesn't really do anything you can't do yourself if you weren't pressed for time.
For those complaining about the salmon chopped cheese being criticized. How about you tell your favorite hole in the wall restaurant to take that shit off the menu then if it's still offensive. I don't hate him for review the oddball menu item. That's usually how you separate the good places from the average trash. Knowing that whatever you order might be edible or good for somebody. It's time for restaurants to start cutting out the bullshit items if they don't like making it or if it's some bullshit to begin with.
Hood Boogers were so Thirsty for Keith Lee to CoSign Mumbo Sauce they sent him to a SE carryout to get unseasoned chicken and fries..... the spot is to get food for under $10 when you Drunk.....he was 💯.
Y’all forgot his whole mission is to find struggling family owned restaurants and give them exposure…ppl are mad that he’s not going to famous places when that’s not his intention
its the way he structures his reviews, i think thats why people interpret it as him reviewing the state’s food bc i agree he doesn’t go to places that are already well liked on purpose

I think the referrals are from the restaurants or family of hoping for the Keith Lee effect. I watched some of the videos for DMV and didn't hear him mention whether they were black owned businesses. In Atlanta, I think it was primarily. So my thoughts are he may want to vet who is referring...sometimes businesses regardless of the ethnicity expect the positive Keith Lee effect without the effort. I am sad he didn't get to experience some of the better spots...like Mama J's in Richmond VA...or Pho in Eden Center or Ben's Chili Bowl...I hope he comes back. To those giving referrals who he didn't feature, by looking at the food, he did them a kindness by not disclosing who they were. They can take his feedback and make changes or not. God Bless.
I appreciate Keith Lee exposing these bad eateries. It’s bad service, bad food and high prices.
We need Keith on the show
As a DMV resident, I can tell you that DC food "culture" falls into 2 types of places: Carry-Out, and "dining experience". There's really no food here that you can't get anywhere else. There's nothing DC is particularly known for in terms of food. There's no "signature dish" like 45min north in Baltimore where they are known for crabs, lobster, shrimp, and crab cakes. The carry out places have that stuff, but it's better in Baltimore. The "trendy" places are good for a night out on the town experience, but there's not a spot you would swear by to go to JUST for the food.
By no means is what you get in DC horrible by any means, but there's nothing in the city or surrounding area (Arlington, Annandale, Alexandria, Falls Church, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, College Park) that stands out and is head above anything else available in any genre of food. There's tons of Pho places none of them significantly better than the next, tons of local Pizza places that have very average Pizza when compared to places known for Pizza, and the occasional hole in the wall spot that doesn't really do anything you can't do yourself if you weren't pressed for time.
You must be a transplant, no Washingtonian says DMV
Lived inDC...Food is ehhhhh.... It's an acquired taste. But I'm from Texas. So my perspective if gonna be different because WE know food.
DC is saying “who is Slim?”
" I can taste the cinnamon ova Heaa" lol
DC food is mid. As much as they hate on Baltimore that is where the food and all the best and most welcoming places are
Chicago is the food capital!
That's what DC gets for putting "Mambo Sauce" on everything 😅😅
He need to stop eating chicken fingers and fries. Expand his palate.
Facts
Been to New York a couple of times and still haven’t had a good slice of pizza! Where are the spots so I’m geared for my next upcoming visit!
What was that ending about?
As Long As He Ain’t Badmouth “Ben’s Chili Bowl” 💎✨
For those complaining about the salmon chopped cheese being criticized. How about you tell your favorite hole in the wall restaurant to take that shit off the menu then if it's still offensive.
I don't hate him for review the oddball menu item. That's usually how you separate the good places from the average trash. Knowing that whatever you order might be edible or good for somebody. It's time for restaurants to start cutting out the bullshit items if they don't like making it or if it's some bullshit to begin with.
Jamaican spots have the best cabbage 🥬
Yooooooo not all hood spots are good.
Hood Boogers were so Thirsty for Keith Lee to CoSign Mumbo Sauce they sent him to a SE carryout to get unseasoned chicken and fries..... the spot is to get food for under $10 when you Drunk.....he was 💯.
