Keith Lee makes his first stop in Baton Rouge

NEW ORLEANS – He got it. He tried it.

TikTok influencer and food critic Keith Lee says Baton Rouge has gone crazy since he announced he was visiting the city.

“The city is on high alert,” Lee said.

He posted his first restaurant review for his Baton Rouge tour on Wednesday.

Lee tried four dishes at Fork N Spoon: Maple Bacon Berry Toast, Berry Banana French Toast, Braised Beef Grits with Soft Scrambled Eggs, and Loaded Oatmeal.

In a 4-minute TikTok, he rated everything at least 7 out of 10. The braised beef grits with soft scrambled eggs received the highest rating, 8 out of 10.

“It’s a really good brunch,” Lee said on TikTok. “For a very, very good price.”

Fork N Spoon is open Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The restaurant officially opened on July 6, 2021. They are located at 1750 Brightside Dr f, Baton Rouge, LA.

Before Lee left the restaurant, he left a $3,000 tip and spoke with the owner and her staff.

“It literally changes your life, like you come here in general whether you like the food or not,” said chef and owner Kristen Abshire.
