Keith Lee revealed as host for Complex’s Family Style Food Festival in NYC

Food vlogger Keith Lee is organizing Complex’s Food Fest Feast in the bustling city of New York. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting food-centric event.

In late 2022, a popular ex-MMA fighter started gaining attention for his restaurant reviews, which eventually made him a sensation on the platform TikTok. His insights into small, family-owned eateries in Las Vegas became particularly well-known.

By the end of 2022, a former MMA fighter found fame with food reviews and dominated TikTok, thanks to his opinions on local, mom-and-pop dining spots in Las Vegas.

Both sentences convey the same information but have slightly different tones and structures.

Lee swiftly broadened his experiences by journeying across the nation, yet he’s kept a keen eye on smaller eateries that could profit from his social media influence. Over time, his critiques have prevented numerous restaurants from shutting down, however, they’ve also temporarily forced some to do so.

On Monday, April 14th, intricate details about their Annual Community Feast were disclosed, with Keith Lee set to host this exciting occasion. Here’s what you need to know.

Family Style Food Festival location, date, and tickets

Complex’s Family Style Food Festival takes place on Saturday, May 17, 2025, in Brooklyn, New York.

It’s uncertain if Complex will broadcast the event live, but it’s likely that you’ll find numerous videos and live streams shared by different content creators instead.

The cost of a regular ticket, including fees, is $40.91, whereas VIP passes are priced at $168.60. If you’re planning to purchase three or five general admission (GA) tickets together, you’ll enjoy a substantial discount, with the lowest price being only $29.81 each (after fees). Visit their website to secure your own tickets.

I was thrilled to see Complex sharing a teaser for their upcoming festival on Instagram, showcasing none other than the renowned New York City talent scout, Nicolas Heller.
