Popular TikTok food critic cancels San Francisco tour citing unsafe conditions: ‘Shocking to say the least'

Celebrity food critic Keith Lee canceled his culinary tour of San Francisco partway through because of its unsafe conditions and bad food, some of which he said caused him to have an allergic reaction.

Lee, who has nearly 16 million followers on TikTok and more than half a billion likes on the content he posts there, announced to his fans this week that he was cutting his trip to the Bay Area short due to some less than desirable conditions he found when he got there.

In a video posted Thursday, he stated, “Unfortunately, the Bay Area stop on the Keith Lee and Family Food Tour is officially over, prematurely.”

The popular content creator, who shares video of him reviewing food from different establishments across the country, had been preparing to take a culinary tour of the city for some time despite warnings from social media users that he should avoid it for his own safety.

Lee noted he wasn’t fazed by these warnings. In a TikTok he shared before the trip, he said, “I go where I feel like I’m supposed to go, I go by faith and not by sight, and I heard a lot of people calling the Bay Gotham City, and the way my mind works, that’s even more reason for me to go.”

But during his tour, Lee encountered what his fans were warning about. In his TikTok summarizing the trip, he gave several reasons for why he was ending it. He first said, “I truly don’t believe the Bay is a place for tourists right now, and that’s what I was – a tourist.”

He continued, noting how the residents and business owners are “just surviving.” He also cited the unsafe conditions that have become synonymous with the city in recent years: “The amount of tents and living structures and burnt up cars that we saw people living in was shocking to say the least.”

“Before we went, people were comparing it to Gotham City. I might not agree, but I understand where it’s coming from,” Lee said, adding that he still felt the people there were “amazing.”

Before moving onto his next reason for ending the tour, he mentioned he feels that the city government “should step in” to help those trying to survive there.

He then mentioned that this was the first food-centric city trip he ever took where he had “over six videos” which he “didn’t feel comfortable posting” because he had nothing good to say about the food. 

His third and “probably most important” reason for ending the tour was that he had to go to the hospital after having an allergic reaction to one of his meals, due to an apparent exposure to shellfish. 

Lee did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Top ranked Scottie Scheffler offers critique of PGA Tour playoff format, concedes it's 'made for TV'

The opening round of the Tour Championship tees off at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta on Thursday. Scottie Scheffler, the current world No. 1 ranked pro golfer, will begin the round with a 2-stroke edge. 

The Tour Championship utilizes a staggered-scoring format, but Scheffler seems to believe the PGA Tour can find a different way to determine its season-long champion.

“I wouldn’t say that it is the best format to identify the best golfer for the year,” Scheffler said Wednesday.

The tour’s season-long winner claims the right to a multi-million dollar bonus.

“Jon Rahm played some of the best golf of anybody this year and he’s coming into this tournament fourth and he’s 4 shots back. And, in theory, he could have won 20 times this year and he would only have a 2-shot lead.”

Scheffler victories have yielded 4,218 FedEx Cup points — significantly more than fellow golfers Viktor Hovland and Rory McIlroy.

Hovland will start the Tour Championship at eight under, while McIlroy will tee off at seven under.

Brian Harman won the Open Championship this year and heads to East Lake at four under, while the rest of the field will begin at three under to even.

Scheffler said he is well aware that the playoff format makes sense for television.

“I mean, I get it,” Scheffler said. “It’s made for TV. It may be more exciting for the fans to have this type of format. But as players I think it’s not the best identifier of who is playing the best throughout the year. But with that being said, I’m starting this week with a 2-shot lead and, I mean, I’m not complaining about it.

“It’s pretty nice. And we’re playing for a lot of money this week, and I’m very grateful for that. But as far as identifying the best player throughout the year, I don’t think it’s the best format.”

McIlroy trailed Scheffler by 11 strokes last season, but he went on to win the Tour Championship — the third of his career. It also marked McIlroy’s most significant win significant victory since the 2019 Players Championship.

McIlroy offered a different perspective on the current playoff format saying he believes it provides a leg up to players who have performed well.

“I do like it this way,” McIlroy noted.

 “I think it gives the guys that have had the better years an advantage going into the week, which I think they should have. If anything, Scottie this year, he probably should have more of an advantage than a 2-shot lead. But it makes it an exciting week, you know, if guys feel like they have a chance to win. Of all the iterations of the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup playoffs, I think this is the best one yet.”
