‘The cat is out of the bag’: TikTok food critic Keith Lee announces move to Texas
Social media food critic Keith Lee is now a Texas resident.
The 28-year-old is known for reviewing food on TikTok, where he has 16.7 million followers. Before his social media fame, Lee was a mixed martial arts fighter and last fought in 2022.
In a TikTok video posted over the weekend, Lee announced that his family had moved from Las Vegas to Texas.
“It’s official; the cat is out of the bag,” Lee said. “Was gonna try and keep it a secret, but it ain’t no secret no more.”
Lee didn’t say where he and his family had moved to in Texas, just that they were all in the Lone Star State.
“Me and my family live in Texas,” Lee said in the video that has over 3 million views. “We was in Vegas for 10 years.”
Earlier this year, Lee went on a food tour of North Texas and stopped by Fort Worth’s Taste Community Restaurant.
Lee called Taste one of the “dopest restaurants” he has ever seen and praised the eatery’s “pay-what-you-can” model. The nonprofit asks guests to pay either what they can afford, what they would typically pay or what they would normally pay plus a little extra.
When Lee visited, the restaurant was packed, so to not take the spotlight away from the eatery, the food critic didn’t order anything. Instead, Lee donated $4,000 to the nonprofit.
“Can you imagine if there’s a restaurant in every city where you can pay as you want or as you can?” Lee asked his followers.
Along with Dallas-Fort Worth, Lee recently visited Houston and called it his second-favorite food city in the country.
