TikTok food critic Keith Lee postpones 'Redemption Tour,' gives away food in Atlanta

ATLANTA - TikTok food critic Keith Lee is putting his "Redemption Tour" on hold, according to a late-night post on social media.

Lee told his 16.1 million followers that he is postponing the official visit to Atlanta because he changed his travel schedule due to "business reasons."

"There’s been a change of plans. Let’s talk about it. The next half of the food tour is not Atlanta," he said.

However, Lee said that since he was already in Atlanta, he would rent a local food truck on Wednesday and give it away to anyone who showed up as a way to give back to the community.  

He then posted details about where the food truck could be found to his Instagram story. 

Lee was not happy after his first visit to Atlanta in October 2023. His comments about the service he received in Atlanta didn't go over well with most people in the community. While some people were offended by his take on Atlanta, others attacked the restaurants that Lee criticized.
