With almost 17 million followers on TikTok, Keith has built his reputation as an authentic and relatable food critic. He refuses to accept free food or perks and promises to always give his honest, unbiased opinion on the food he eats — and his latest bizarre experience with a Seattle sushi restaurant is no exception. Shortly after that statement was released, another TikToker ( @joshuam_rivera ) posted a video alleging that FOB Sushi was the reason his girlfriend was hospitalized.
According to Joshua, the couple ate at the restaurant, and the next day, his girlfriend began feeling sick and exhibiting food poisoning symptoms. After going to urgent care and getting a stool test, the results revealed that she had a "form of E. coli.
" Joshua said in his video that she is still recovering in the hospital due to ongoing symptoms. Of course, whether or not this was from the sushi can't be confirmed or denied. E.
coli can be found in many foods, most recently in carrots , which have resulted in hospitalizations, including in Washington . According to the Seattle Times , a health inspector "attempted to conduct an inspection" on Monday, the same day they announced the closure, but the doors were closed. Although we don't know the exact reason for the closure and subsequent inspection attempt, records do show that no health code violations were found when the restaurant was inspected in January.
In fact, they received an "excellent" rating. Health officials are supposedly still planning to "follow up with the restaurant to discuss food safety measures." Previous reviews for FOB Sushi on Google and Yelp are also largely positive, with 4.
6 and 4.5 stars respectively. However, some customers in a Reddit thread claim to have gotten sick after eating there.
