“We decided as a family we’re going to do a redemption tour,” he said. “We’re going to new restaurants, in new areas and we’re going to use new categories.”
In his initial visit to the city, some chatter on social media criticized Lee for going to restaurants people deemed “popular” instead of community staples with ties to the culture of Atlanta.

“We come in peace -- with that being said, we will be protected,” Lee said in the video. “There will be people with us who are legal and licensed. We don’t want to have to use them, but we will. My family will get home safe.”
It is unclear when Lee will officially return, however, he did say it would be “soon.”
