Keith Lee

Keith Lee is an American food critic and mixed martial artist. He fought under the nickname "Killa," and is the brother of fellow MMA fighter Kevin Lee. Keith Lee made his Bellator debut in 2018 and at his promotional debut he picked up a decision over Shawn Bunch at Bellator 239. He lost his contract with Bellator in 2021, after which he began pursuing his social media food reviews more heavily, though as of January 2023 he still planned to continue his MMA career in a more limited capacity.

Lee has gained prominence as a Las Vegas based food critic on TikTok. Lee began using TikTok in November 2020, mainly posting cooking videos and family content. He began posting restaurant reviews in 2021. His reviews follow a consistent formula, where he describes where he got the food, what his experience was ordering the food, how much he paid, and then he rates each item on a scale from one to ten.

As of December 2023, he has 15.3 million followers and his food reviews have gained over 630 million likes. He has stated that he began making TikToks to help combat his anxiety with public speaking.

Lee has travelled to cities such as Atlanta, Houston and New York to review local restaurants, giving preference to Black-owned and family restaurants. He frequently has family members place takeout orders on his behalf in order to avoid preferential treatment from restaurant owners.

Lee was included on the 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 list under the category Food & Drink because of his Tiktok food reviews.
