TikTok food critic Keith Lee is giving Atlanta a shot at redemption.
The popular reviewer posted on TikTok on Friday that he and his family will return to Atlanta after naming the city the worst of eight restaurant cities visited last year.
This time he’s bringing security for the “Redemption Tour.” He has said that he received threats after posting his reviews, last year, on poor service at Atlanta restaurants.
“We come in peace,” Lee said. “With that being said, we will be protected. There’s people with us that are legal and licensed. We don’t want to have to use them but we will. My family are getting home safe.”
This go-round, Lee says he will visit “mom and pop” eateries, popular places that his followers have weighed in on, and ethnic restaurants. He has 16 million TikTok followers and another 2 million on Instagram.
Lee will not be returning to the eight restaurants he and his family visited last fall. He and his family spent a week in Atlanta, making stops at Atlanta Breakfast Club, Lil Baby’s the Seafood Menu, Old Lady Gang, and the Real Milk and Honey.
The food reviewer is encouraging small restaurant owners in need of marketing to contact him for a possible visit during the family food tour.
“Atlanta we’ll see y’all soon, Lee said. “Again, we come in peace. We don’t mean no harm.”
