One entrepreneur's viral plea paid off when he caught Keith Lee’s attention in Houston. 🙌🏾⁠
⁠
Ishmael Wilson is a college student and owner of htxfoodplug. He posted a TikTok video just days before the food critic and his family visited the city, asking his followers to tag Lee to try his Flaming Hot Cheeto boudin balls. ⁠
⁠
Lee rated the boudin balls with an 8.9/10, and said he respected Wilson’s hustle and gifted the college student $2,500 to use to fix the dent in his truck door and whatever else he needed with the funds. ⁠
⁠
After he received the generous gift, Wilson thanked Lee and used the funds to buy a new fryer, a stainless steel table and a refrigerator. Swipe 👉🏾 to watch. ⁠
