Social media food critic Keith Lee, boasting over 15 million followers, has made his presence known in the Dallas food scene, causing quite a stir with his restaurant reviews.
Recently, Lee embarked on his culinary journey, sharing his first impressions from various eateries he visited while adhering to his signature catchphrase, “he got ’em, he tried ’em, and rated them 1-10.”
His initial stops included Thunderbird Pies and Terry Black’s Barbecue in East Dallas, followed by Halal Fusionz, a ghost kitchen concept in Farmers Branch.
At Thunderbird Pies, known for its Detroit-style pizza, Lee sampled several pizzas and sides, offering constructive feedback and expressing optimism about the eatery’s potential with minor adjustments.
Next, at Terry Black’s in Deep Ellum, Lee praised the brisket but was critical of the sides and jalapeño cheddar sausage, voicing his concerns over greasiness and overpowering flavors.
Meanwhile, Halal Fusionz earned high praise from Lee, particularly for its innovative fusion of Pakistani and Tex-Mex cuisines. A paneer tikka taco, birria taco, and Chipotle Kheema taco received impressive ratings, drawing crowds to the ghost kitchen post-review.
As Lee’s reviews continue to garner attention, his upcoming destinations, including Whistle Britches, Chef Mate Wangz and Mo, Hutchins BBQ, and Babe’s, remain eagerly anticipated by his followers.
With each review, Lee’s influence on the local dining scene grows, offering valuable insights and sparking culinary discussions among food enthusiasts in the Metroplex.
