A small Ajax dessert shop that recently received a glowing review from celebrity food critic Keith Lee is being forced to move after a zoning complaint was made following the social media influencer’s visit last month.
On April 5, Lee paid a visit to Biscuits to Baskets, a small dessert shop located in the backyard shed of a home in a quiet, residential neighbourhood in Ajax.
“Due to a recent visit by the town, it has come to our attention that our backyard is not a suitable space for business as it’s separate from the main house,” Biscuits to Baskets said in a statement posted on social media.The post went on to explain that in order to continue to operate, they will now have to run the shop out of the main house on the property starting on June 1.
According to the statement, the letter indicated that they were “not operating legally within the Town's Zoning by-law due to operating their home-based business in an accessory building on their property.” “The fact that me and my family had any part in this… didn’t sit well with me,” Lee said in the video posted on TikTok.
Lee’s food reviews have established a phenomenon known as the “Keith Lee Effect,” driving hoards of new customers to businesses that receive a nod from the food critic.
