His content consists of genuine food reviews where he ranks dishes recommended by the local community he is visiting on a scale of 1-10. Fans of his videos and small business owners send him suggestions once he announces the city he is headed so that way he can be sure to hit all the best places. If it happens to be a hole in the wall with excellent food, even better.

The magic happens once he posts one of his famous food reviews online; followers call it the 'Keith Lee Effect' because businesses he reviews always see an uptick in sales.

However, now that rumors have been confirmed in a video posted on Monday where he says, "Do you hear that?" and hundreds of cicadas can be heard in the background, we now know he is officially in Louisiana.
