Social media food critic Keith Lee has come to the end of his 2023 food tour and has ranked the cities according to his personal preferences, customer service and of course great food.
At number 8. Atlanta!
With all the issues and chaos that came to the surface when Keith visited ATL, we were not surprised that the popular city was ranked at the bottom.
New York also made the bottom 3 coming second to last based on what Keith called the “overwhelming feeling of being unwelcome and the traffic were also factors.”
Many did not agree with Keith’s judgement of NY saying he did not get the best experience on his visit.
I was supporting Keith Lee until he said Detroit has better food than New York.
There are 100 reasons why there is no chance Detroit has better food than New York.

I know Keith Lee runs on suggestions but ain’t no way you come to New York and don’t have good food. Y’all dropped the ball. A SALMON CHOPPED CHEESE?! Who specifically told him to order that, come out and get your lashings.

Keith Lee discovered restaurants that I never even heard of and still gave New Orleans the #1 spot. We don’t miss.

New Orleans # 1 for Keith Lee is absolutely accurate. However, him placing New York so low is inaccurate; he really went to the wrong places. New York has incredible food, if it didn’t I wouldn’t have lived here for so long lol

Keith Lee’s top 8 makes sense to me. Especially if you’ve watched his food tour unfold. I couldn’t agree more with #1 tho. IMO New Orleans has the best food and customer service in the country. And I mean that with my WHOLE SOUL ?? pic.twitter.com/xXevIpiwg1
