Food is a universal language. A savory smell or the sight of a sweet treat can catch your attention and lead you to your next favorite meal. Whether you're a pro in the kitchen or can only make toast, we can all agree that food can bring everyone together.

On TikTok, there are thousands of creators who center their creativity on food. Here are some of the best food-based TikTokers you should follow!

Keith Lee is one of the top food creators on TikTok right now. With over 13.5 million followers, Lee’s videos average 1.5 million views, with his top videos amassing over 30 million views. What is so special about Lee’s approach to food is how honest he is while still being kind. Lee creates food taste-testing videos where he breaks down how he found the restaurant, how much he paid, his customer service experience, and ranks the food he ordered on a scale of 1 to 10. Lee keeps it very real in his videos and explains in detail his thoughts and as to why he gives his ranking. Another reason as to why he is so popular is how he has helped many small businesses and family-owned restaurants through his reviews. Since his videos reach such large audiences, if the restaurant gets a good rating, people nearby will go to the restaurant. Many times this creates booming business for the establishment, allowing them to truly succeed. Lee shows his appreciation for his platform constantly through his videos, always thanking God and his followers for giving him the platform to do this. Lee’s kindness continues through not accepting free food from restaurants and, when possible, returning with a great tip of appreciation.
