Keith Lee's Family Style Food Festival will take place on May 17, featuring trending dishes from independent restaurants in New York City. With 17 million TikTok followers, Lee has the power to influence the success of eateries, making the festival significant for culinary culture. Produced with Complex, the event aims to highlight diverse food offerings, from popular spots like Lucali Pizza and Katz's Delicatessen to hot newcomers. The festival seeks to create a family-oriented experience while addressing the competitive nature of food festivals.
"I'm more than excited," Lee, the martial artist-turned-foodfluencer whose 17 million TikTok followers can make or break a restaurant, told The Post.
"There's never really a way to include everyone, but we can try," said Miles Canares, a founder of the festival alongside Ben Shenassafar and Bobby Kim of the Hundreds.
According to Canares, there's a cutthroat competition for a space at the highly sought-after snack summit.
"I get hundreds of messages a day," adds Lee, pointing to the immense interest in food trends and festival participation.
