Per Eatlect's writeup of Keith Lee's review, the critic rated the '2 Smoove' salmon chopped cheese 7.5/10 (calling it good but a bit salty) and the classic 'DJ' chopped cheese 8/10, driving a sudden wave of orders for the salmon sandwich specifically.

A Google-cited New York Post account relayed by Eatlect/search coverage has co-owner Daquon Bowers saying the deli received 'at least 100' orders for the '2 Smoove' due to the 'Keith Lee effect,' with sales reported up roughly 40% after the video posted.
