Food influencer criticized for wasting all-you-can-eat lobsters

A food blogger and “luxury connoisseur” is being slammed on TikTok for behavior that many users described as “disgusting” and disgusting. Mister Lewis (@mister.lewis) filmed himself attending an all-you-can-eat lobster buffet at the Palms Casino Resort.

In the video, he brings individual lobsters to his table, one plate at a time, in accordance with the sign in the restaurant that says guests are allowed one lobster per plate.

The TikToker interpreted this sign to mean that he could bring as many lobsters to his table as he wanted, as long as he did so one plate at a time. He eventually got into an argument with restaurant staff and commenters criticized his behavior in the restaurant.

“I appreciate it, boss, I appreciate it,” says Mr. Lewis as he walks away from the buffet with two plates of cooked lobsters in each hand. One of the lobsters falls to the floor, causing him to shrug. “Ope! Oh well.”

“Can I have more lobster or not?” the influencer can be heard asking off-screen. The video then switches to a restaurant employee explaining that this is possible, but they would have to finish the lobsters on his table first.

“Do I have to eat all of this first?” he says, pointing to the table, where there are two plates with several lobsters and a third with several lobster tails. Also on the table are a bucket, a plate with lemon slices and two bowls of melted butter.

“Just to be clear, the rule is that I have to finish a plate before I go back to the buffet?” asks Mr. Lewis. The employee replies, “For the lobsters? Yes,” before pointing out of the frame to a sign that presumably refers to the rule he is talking about.

“It says one per plate. But it doesn’t say you have to finish the plate before you come back,” the TikToker tells the employee, who goes on to explain that he has to finish the lobsters he has already piled on his table.

At this point in the video, another guest tells Mister Lewis that “that’s common sense,” and the TikToker says, “I wasn’t even talking to you, who are you? Who are you, I wasn’t talking to you!”

The clip then switches to another employee taking a photo of the number of lobsters on the customer’s table. The video then switches to Mister Lewis sitting at a table posing with plates full of cooked shellfish. “The casino that takes all of your money has a problem with me taking lobster. All you can eat? Stop playing with me,” he says, pouring melted butter over the lobster tails so that it runs down the egg whites.

“So, I’m at the Palms in Vegas trying to show you guys the good seats… and the manager comes to my table and says, um, excuse me, do you want to eat all of this? The rules say one piece per plate. And that’s exactly what I did. I grabbed a piece, took it to my table and then I went back and got another piece.”

He films himself dipping a piece of lobster into the melted butter and stuffing it into his mouth. “Ayy, listen, after all this, I’m not even going to hold you down, the lobster was amazing! The butter was a little seasoned and it was only $80. This deal is definitely worth it. But the way they treated me made me leave immediately.”

He claps his hands in front of the pile of lobsters, expressing his satisfaction with the meal. His clip then switches to him holding several plates of unfinished lobsters and throwing them in the trash. He grimaces and says “sorry” as he throws the lobsters away. Someone off-screen can be heard repeatedly saying that he “shouldn’t come back here” while another person repeats the same thing.

The final shot of his video shows all the lobsters he threw away just to film his video.

Numerous TikTokers who reacted to his video expressed their disdain for his behavior in the restaurant.

“Nope, you’re wrong, boss,” someone wrote.

“Definitely wrong for that,” noted another.

Someone else wrote that they thought the restaurant should sue him for his behavior in their establishment: “The restaurant should take legal action.”

One commenter suggested that just because he has money and/or a following, he doesn’t have to go out of his way to make life harder for those around him. “You can be rich, but also kind and humble,” he wrote.

Another user of the app shared this opinion, saying: “Is it so wrong to be considerate towards other people?”

While someone else wrote: “You disappointed us with this video.”

And someone else said the best thing he could do for his disappointed fans would be to simply stop giving viewers to his TikTok account: “Why don’t people just unfollow him and make him lose his platform? He needs his followers and his followers don’t need him.”
