Keith Lee Joins Former UFC Fighter Brother For Dallas Restaurant Opening
Dallas-based food critic Keith Lee is stepping away from his usual restaurant reviews to help his older brother celebrate a new business venture. The social media star will join former UFC fighter Kevin Lee on Nov. 1, for the grand opening of Kevin’s comfort-food restaurant, Braised, at 1499 Regal Row, Suite 205, Dallas. The brothers will give complimentary meals to the first 30 customers, giving early visitors a chance to meet the pair while getting their first taste of the restaurant. Originally launched in Miami, Braised is beginning a new chapter in Dallas after Kevin relocated to North Texas.
