The mother of beloved Antwain “TJ” Fowler, who became a viral internet sensation for his famous catchphrase, “Where we about to eat at?” launched a GoFundMe page to raise funds to open a seafood restaurant in his honor. Fowler died on Nov. 21, 2021, at the age of 6, Complex reports.

Christina Burns, Fowler’s mother, said she plans to name the restaurant WWB2EA, which stands for Fowler’s popular soundbite, “Where we bout to eat at?” according to Complex. 

“Those words had the world in an uproar with his reaction to finding out where are we going to eat our food as he props down in the front seat of my car lol.. starting this isn’t easy with all of the medical expenses and me and my families own personal endeavors. This is something that has to happen I’ve made a promise to do so and I’m asking for the help of the public,” Burns wrote on the GoFundMe.

“My son made a huge impact on the World without even trying. Throughout his little life he’s been strong against all odds hospitals, doctors appointments countless amount of surgeries to go so soon!” Burns added. “I come with Good grace and hope you guys see this as a legendary idea.”

Burns started the campaign on Sunday with a goal of $50,000.  

In the fundraiser, she shared that her son lived with autoimmune enteropathy. According to Cincinnati Children’s, autoimmune enteropathy is a rare condition that affects children’s ability to absorb nutrients and causes them to have diarrhea.
