by

UK’s well-known potato chain, Spudbros, has faced criticism due to their response towards Keith Lee’s review of their signature loaded potato dish, which includes beans and tuna.

Keith Lee and his loved ones ventured off to London, Great Britain, for a gastronomic tour of the United Kingdom. They sampled delicacies such as Black Pudding, beans on toast, among other treats.

spectators found themselves taken aback by Keith’s response to certain dishes, yet the food critic pressed on and continued to evaluate his list of suggested eateries one by one.

Following an early release of his critique on Spudbros, the reactions from its management ignited a wave of disapproval among the restaurant’s potato-loving patrons and clients.

Spudbros reaction sparks backlash from fans

After a brief clip of Keith Lee’s Spudbros review surfaced, revealing his displeasure with the meal, the restaurant owners shared a video explaining that perhaps they should have offered different toppings for my (Keith Lee’s) potato instead.

He mentioned, “Apologies, it seems the Brits have a fondness for cheese, baked beans, and tuna. I assumed that Keith Lee might enjoy this as well.” He continued, “I took a chance. It’s a popular dish in Britain.

The other owner added: “It’s not the right time, but we will change those American minds.”

Two days after posting his full review, the influencer responded to the viral video incident and the company’s handling of it.

He stated, “I’ve realized that a sneak peek of the entire review process was accidentally shared by someone on my team earlier. The response to it made me hesitant about releasing the video. However, since I’ve been asked for my thoughts on this matter several times, I’m going ahead and posting it.

Contrary to the story that emerged suggesting I was disrespectful, the truth is the owner witnessed my actions and signaled approval. I was simply expressing my honest opinion when asked, and my personal viewpoint is that it didn’t resonate with me.

Keith proceeded to relay the positive feedback from his wife and cousin, as they both appreciated the combination of beans and tuna on the fully-laden potato.

One of the Spudbro’s proprietors shared a new video discussing the recent developments following the release of Keith’s complete video, acknowledging their attempts to turn an unfavorable circumstance into something more manageable.

He explained, “We didn’t aim to turn a negative situation into a positive one, but rather we approached it with some humor and a touch of irony. I know not everyone enjoys cheese, beans, and tuna, and we fully understand that. His wife and cousin seem to enjoy it, and there’s no ill-feeling about that. We appreciate Keith Lee for coming; he’s well-known in the food reviewing world.

“We completely get it now. No hard feelings. Thank you for coming down, [Keith].”

Regardless of the company’s portrayal in its video, it became evident that fans were dissatisfied with Spudbros’ handling of Keith Lee’s critique on their food. Many more even accused them of prolonging the controversy by dragging it out unnecessarily.

One user remarked, “You all are prolonging this far too long,” while another said, “It feels like the 50th time I’ve watched a video about Keith Lee.

This whole situation has left me feeling disconnected from all of you. I’ve really enjoyed watching what you do, but this prolonged and overly dramatic aspect of it wasn’t appealing.

“‘Light-hearted banter,’ nah bro y’all were in your feelings majorly,” a third user said.

On different occasions, some of Keith’s restaurant reviews have faced criticism. For instance, in November, Keith Lee’s review of FOB Sushi Bar in Washington went viral, causing many viewers to believe that he consumed a parasite. This allegation resulted in the temporary closure of the restaurant.
