One of popular TikTok food critic Keith Lee‘s latest food reviews sees him trying the restaurant from his brother, former UFC fighter Kevin Lee.
Dexerto reported that Keith was a Bellator mixed martial arts fighter before becoming a famous food critic. After MMA fighting, Keith spent more than a year reviewing local restaurants in different cities and established a large social media following. As for Kevin, he retired from the organization in July 2023, leaving many wondering what would be next for him.
In late May, Keith shared a review on TikTok featuring his brother’s restaurant, “Braised by Kevin Lee,” showcasing what Kevin has been up to following his athletic career.

“Me and my family are in Hollywood, Florida, and the food in this bag is from my brother’s restaurant. When I say my brother, I mean the same mom and dad. But I didn’t order it and he doesn’t know we’re here,” Keith said in the five-minute clip.
The 27-year-old shared that Kevin moved to Florida to start his new business venture as an entrepreneur.
“We all lived in Vegas, but he moved to Miami and opened his own pop up. [It] is at a farmers’ market. The name of it is ‘Yellow Green Farmers Market’ and inside is his restaurant, ‘Braised by Kevin Lee,'” Keith added.
Keith sampled a few dishes, including short ribs with mashed potatoes and duck with potatoes and gravy. He gave both a positive review, which sparked a discussion among followers about their brotherhood.
“NO WAY KEVIN LEE IS YOU BROTHER, HOW AM I JUST LEARNING THIS,” one social media user said.
“Wait!! Kevin Lee, the mma fighter? Didn’t realize he was your brother. Miss that guy in the UFC. When’s his return?” another wrote.
“Ain’t nobody told me nothing. All this time Keith Lee brother down the street. Let Me go see what’s up,” a third person wrote.
One social media user commended Kevin for wanting to establish his restaurant independently and not using the “Keith Lee Effect” that has worked on many small businesses in other cities.
“The fact that he wants to start from the bottom and not ask Keith Lee for help is respectable,” they wrote.
Keith also has two more siblings, a sister and another brother.
