“Today I spent $450 on a burger. Let’s try it and rate it 1 through 10,” Lee said in the video.

“He told me he’s just trying to survive right now. It’s very slow. He’s lucky if he gets five to 10 people in,” he continued.
“I went live the other day with Miss Shirley, passing out food to the less fortunate. During that live, you sent $450 worth of gifts. I took all that money, and I sent it directly to his Cash App,” Lee said.
Lee rated the fries an 8.5 out of 10 and the burger a 9.5 out of 10.
“Delicious. It was juicy; it was cheesy … immaculate,” Lee said. “Especially to be a place that don’t specialize in burgers. He makes seafood!”
