TikTok food critic Keith Lee gives high rating to Baton Rouge barbecue restaurant

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — The Keith Lee effect is set to continue after the popular TikTok food critic gave a local barbecue restaurant a high rating.

Lee, who is in Baton Rouge as part of his national food tour, said he was recommended by several people to go to Smoke Bayou.

"This is a mom-and-pop spot, but it's been recommended, like it's a community staple. I would have thought this place had six, seven locations, but we pulled up and when I say mom-and-pop, it's a small intimate shack," said Lee in his video.
