Keith Lee believes the food scene in Washington, D.C., is hampered by the heavy alcohol use by consumers.
Over the weekend, Lee shared a video discussing the food scene in D.C. According to Lee, he had a difficult time looking for a restaurant as all the eateries were "geared directly towards alcohol," and he felt a way that if you weren't someone who consumes liquor, finding spots to eat would be a problem.
"In my opinion, all the restaurants are geared directly towards alcohol," said Lee. "If you don't drink, it seems like it's slim pickings. I'm talking about everything. Alcohol, bottomless, topless...I don't drink, so I'm hungry."
Lee's journey to find the best restaurants has brought him all over the country and caused a bunch of commotion, such as his trip to Atlanta. The trip to the ATL went viral due to the numerous rules that several restaurants had to get service, and Lee dished out his viral reviews, leaving the city in shambles.
The food critic shined a light on the rules that include no take-out orders, dine-in times/party size limits, and fluctuating hours. Restaurants that were criticized include The Atlanta Breakfast Club, The Real Milk & Honey, and the Kandi Burress-owned Old Lady Gang.
Several people criticized those restaurants and forced Lee to put out a statement that asked his fans not to drag these eateries. According to Lee, these places of business are just trying to bring customers through their doors.
"I do not support, condone, or agree with tearing down these businesses," said Lee in his one of his food reviews. "While we personally may not have the best personal service experience, it does not mean you will have the same experience. It also don't mean go on Twitter and tear these businesses down. At the end of the day, business owners are people and you never know what people are going through."
