Righteous Eats
YouTube / TikTok · Immigrant & minority-owned restaurants, NYC
New York City
Righteous Eats is a New York-based food media brand co-founded in 2020 by Jaeki Cho and Brian Lee with a specific mission: to spotlight restaurants run by immigrants and minority communities that are often overlooked by mainstream food media. Operating across YouTube and TikTok, the channel has built a loyal following among New Yorkers looking for authentic, community-rooted dining — from Yemeni fried chicken in Brooklyn to Bangladeshi sweets in Jackson Heights. Righteous Eats is one of the few food channels with a defined editorial perspective, treating the restaurant as a cultural institution rather than just a meal.
