A heated discussion has sparked across social media following food critic Keith Lee’s recent omission of a major city from his top five culinary destinations. During a two-part interview on Shannon Sharpe’s ‘Club Shay Shay’ podcast, released on December 4, Lee shared his personal favorites for food travel.
Keith Lee’s Top Culinary Cities
In his rankings, Lee included:
- New Orleans
- Houston
- Chicago
- Toronto
- Miami
However, it was his decision to exclude New York City that caught many listeners off guard. As the clip circulated online, viewers expressed disbelief that Lee did not view NYC as worthy of a top spot.
Public Reactions to Lee’s List
Comments flooding social media platforms reflected a mix of outrage and surprise. One critic on Instagram remarked, “Obviously loses any credibility by not saying NYC.” Another user echoed this sentiment, stating, “Yeah it’s his opinion, but anyone who actually has valid tastebuds knows that New York City [is] top-tier for food.” A third user quipped, “NYC has all types of food for all cultures, he’s bugging.”
Keith Lee Defends His Choices
When prompted by Sharpe about New York’s absence from his list, Lee explained, “I feel like New York isn’t in the top five for me because the accessibility to know the spots is really hard unless you’re from there.” This justification sparked further debates online, with many users challenging his rankings.
Comments continued to pour in, with one user asserting, “You got Chicago f*cked up, we don’t come third to nothing, but ok,” while another expressed, “He needs to get out more. Here in South Carolina, we have plenty of hidden treasure food spots.” A third user suggested, “Atlanta is the best, he’s wilding.”
Controversies Beyond Rankings
Lee’s opinions may cause controversy, but a recent incident from his visit to FOB Sushi Bar drew widespread agreement. After discovering a worm in his sushi, Lee leveraged social media to demand accountability from the restaurant. Initially, the restaurant emphasized its commitment to health and safety, yet they eventually closed two locations due to “food safety concerns.”
