Keith Lee, the viral food reviewer, released a video review of The Real Milk & Honey on Main St, College Park, on October 27, 2023. Keith stated that he failed to even enjoy the cuisine at the restaurant because of a slew of “unique rules.” The critic stated that he & his family were unable to place a call-in order or use DoorDash to acquire food. “So far, I have found that Atlanta has some unique rules,” he said. And among them is this…If you don’t agree with the rules, they aren’t for you. And the regulations just weren’t for me or my family.” Many netizens commented on the review, which prompted a heated debate online, notably American rapper Cardi B, who agrees with Lee’s assessment.
Cardi B discussed the Atlanta restaurant evaluations submitted by Keith Lee a few days previously on October 30, 2023. The artist began by telling her side of the tale, claiming that the workers in Atlanta restaurants were not concerned about their clients and that the restaurants were frequently closed. “First thing first, right?” she added. In Atlanta restaurants, you can hardly order. When you call, they are like, ‘Oh, we aren’t taking orders, we do not take orders, we don’t take orders.’ It gets to the point where I have to ask people who order for me, ‘Hey, could you simply name-drop my name?'” The Bongos artist revealed that, as a last resort, she had urged her staff to inform Atlanta eatery workers that she was Cardi B so she could receive her meal.

Keith Lee Said What During His Viral Atlanta Food Review? Cardi B Agrees With The Rapper
Cardi B, recognised for her honest ideas and aggressive takes on many pop culture themes, recently lent her voice to a viral controversy created by TikTok food critic Keith Lee’s review of The Real Milk & Honey, an Atlanta eatery. Lee’s assessment, which was scathing of Atlanta’s dining culture, drew considerable notice, and Cardi B wasn’t holding back in expressing her thoughts on the matter. “First things first, correct?” Cardi B’s career began with a post on the “theneighborhoodtalk” Instagram page. “I’m thinking about Atlanta restaurants… They don’t like to make money. I get the impression that they dislike people, that they do not like their consumers, that they simply cannot f**ing enjoy it.” Cardi B then expressed her displeasure with the challenges of putting orders at Atlanta restaurants. She emphasised the difficulty of getting into these businesses, saying, “First and foremost, you can scarcely order in Atlanta restaurants.” When you call, they’re like, ‘Oh, we aren’t taking orders, we do not take orders, we don’t take orders.’ It gets to the point where I have to physically remind people who order for me, ‘Hey, could you just name-drop my name?'” She also mentioned that many Atlanta eateries lack pickup and delivery services, & their unpredictable opening and closing hours frustrate potential customers.

“What do you think y’all nas are off Monday through Wednesday?” Cardi B vented her frustration. Or they’ll just close on weird days, like ‘Oh, they shut on Tuesday.’ It’s simply the most haphazard s**t. It’s as if you motherf**ers don’t enjoy making money.” Keith Lee, a former MMA fighter, has become a social media celebrity thanks to his viral restaurant reviews on TikTok. His reviews have had a considerable impact on restaurant owners, drawing attention to a variety of restaurants. Lee visited The Real Milk & Honey in Atlanta in a recent clip, where he discovered a unique set of rules and an odd dining experience. Lee & his family received no service at the restaurant because the establishment stated it had been closed for cleaning. Customers were continuing to be served, and a few were eating inside. When Lee walked inside the restaurant, they were more than happy to accommodate him. Lee’s video, which detailed the strange restrictions at Atlanta restaurants, went viral, garnering millions of views and prompting social media conversations. Some of the restaurant’s constraints, such as a rigorous “No changes to items” policy, a 90-minute eating limit, and limits on larger parties, piqued viewers’ interest. While Keith Lee made it clear that he had no intention of spreading hatred or review bombing the restaurant due to his experience, the episode sparked a lively online debate about Atlanta’s troubling dining culture.
