In a recent TikTok, food critic + influencer (with 17 million followers) Keith Lee says he’s headed to the Carolinas, and Charleston is on his radar. Is there a local spot that’s a must-visit for Lee?
Lee and his family have traveled the country in search of the best food around, especially from Black-owned and family-operated restaurants, and his videos garner millions of views. After a positive review from Lee, local restaurants report a “Keith Lee effect,” including wrap-around lines and business doubling.
Now, it’s our turn. Is there another local spot that you think would be a must-visit for Lee? Let us know.
A few things to keep in mind: Although we love our seafood in Charleston, Lee has an allergy to shellfish + he typically hits hyper-local restaurants that are a bit off the beaten path and deserve more spotlight.
