BONAIRE, Ga. - TikTok sensation Keith Lee, known for his candid food reviews, traveled to middle Georgia to assist a struggling family-owned restaurant, Tacos y Mariscos Ofelia, located in Bonaire, which is near Warner Robins.
The restaurant had been facing tough times, with sparse customer turnout forcing them to close for two weeks, according to a video they posted on social media.
In an effort to discover the root of the problem, Lee flew to Georgia and documented his visit on TikTok. After sampling the food, Lee found it to be just fine, but he identified the restaurant's remote location and limited marketing as significant challenges to its success.
In a generous move, Lee decided to pay the business’s rent for three months and donated an additional $900, allowing new customers to try the restaurant’s food for free.
