FM SATELLITES Episode 31: EATING FM “BOMB GUACAMOLE”

Its rare that there’s a good mexican restaurant in LA that we havent tried.. but this is one of them. The Cherrytree El Adobe event was crackin n the best part of it was the free ‘all u can eat’ mexican food. Like we said, raised on legit mexican food so we’re extra critical. We did a video Eating FM food review on this Satellites.. here’s the food review scale…

EATING FM Rating system:

***3 Fingers up – MUST EAT.. crave for it.. amazing food. If you dont try it your missing out on life…

**2 Fingers up – Great Taste, if you get a chance… try it… i recommend it.

* 1 Finger up – Kinda wish i didnt eat there or order what i ordered … but i ate it and now im full.

- Middle Finger up – i threw it away while eating it… if i had a brick i’d throw it through the window.. and if i had lighter fluid and a lighter.. i’d burn that mutha down…

—–

Lets see if the ingredients add up to the coveted “3 Fingers Up” Eating FM Rating….

FM SATELLITES EPISODE 28: RIOTING IN TORONTO
(Pics and vid)

The last stop on our mini FM Canada tour was Toronto.

Of all times we could be in this beautiful city, our first time had to be during the imfamous G20 Summit, which is a gathering of all the world leaders from countries around the globe to talk about matters that affect the globe. Our Universal Canada/ Asphalt Regime team set up a meet n greet/ interviews at the New Era Flagship store in downtown Toronto and we kept hearing that the city was going to be shut down cuz of the possibility of protests. Its a perfect place to protest issues you aint feeling to be heard. Started to notice tweets from fam in toronto saying the streets to the city were roadblocked and all the sudden we heard horns and chats from a crowd. walked out side to see thousands and thousands of people walkin down Queen street protesting important issues to them. Everything seemed to be going smooth so we went back in the store to finish up some interviews when we saw cops in gas masks and sirens so we ran back outside. we heard this crazy chant from a mob of people dressed in all black and faces covered in black ninja masks. people were yelling, windows were getting smashed, and people were running by us with bloody faces so our team drags us back inside the new era store just before a the huge mob walks by… we caught most of the action on our spy cam..
