After a popular TikToker and food reviewer named Keith Lee posted a video about Frankenson’s, a pizzeria in Las Vegas, the restaurant went from having almost no customers to being sold out overnight, according to reports. Frankenson’s owner, Frank Steele, is calling it a miracle. Steele recounted how he struck up a conversation with a customer who turned out to be a food critic, not realizing his significance at the time. Later that day, business at Frankenson’s picked up considerably.
Frank Steele, the owner of Frankenson’s, expressed his amazement at the sudden surge in business after a TikTok video featuring his pizzeria went viral. “Our phone never stopped ringing. I’ve sold more lemon pepper wings in the last two days than I have in the past four months. I made more garlic knots yesterday and the day before than I’ve ever made,” he said. Customers have reportedly traveled from as far as Iowa, California, Lake Havasu, and Utah to try out his food, all because of the video which has amassed over 27 million views on TikTok. Steele was overcome with emotion as he expressed his gratitude, saying, “It’s just been overwhelming. It’s been a blessing.
This restaurant has been a dream of mine for 30 years. All I can say is thank you. This has been life-changing.”
