EASTSIDE EATING FM BATTLES
Last stops on the All Hearts Tour with Robyn, Kelis n Dan Black… wild ride.
Picked up a bus for the rest of the cities n drove to DC first. I prefer buses more cuz airports have become too complicated. I gotta love the fact TSA is making our world a safer place but getting punked by them every morning at 6am for early flights can take its toll HAHA.
Washington, DC
Got into DC a little late, threw our stuff in the hotel and headed straight over 9:30 Club where we were peforming. Funny cuz we’re askin “where is the venue tonight?” and they was tellin us “9:30″… us “NAH.. where is the show? we go on at 6:30pm.. are they promoting that we’re going on at 9:30pm? ahhh shiiiiii**.” LOL u had to be there.
Backstage before the show we hit up the chatroom on Cherrytreerecords.com.. whenever we’re traveling and we hit the chat up it feels like a home away from home. Get to talk to family n zone out. Had to give the fam in the chat a play-by-play during robyn’s set. Then after our set we met cool fam named Aylin Vasar who interviewed us for URB.COM. Was dope cuz she was originally from Cali and moved to DC and she was a fan of our homies Wong Fu Productions and International Secret Agents which was fly. Shouts to Matt Suh n the DC crew for takin us around after the show on the search after after party.
DC IS FREE WIRED.

Philadelphia, PA – “CHEESESTEAK BATTLE: GENO’s Vs PAT’s”
2 hour drive over to philly. only 1 thing was on everyone’s mind… finding that real PHILLY CHEESESTEAK. People been tellin us about the battle between Geno’s and Pat’s. We heard its the good spot for a quick simple and authentic cheesesteak…
Saturday night online radio show in philly to answer some questions from fans off a laptop on cam. thk yall for the good questions
Right after our show at the Trocadero inbetween the meet n greet time we boned out to get cheesesteaks. We pulled up to what looked like “Cheesesteak Blvd” or something crazy cuz on this one street was Geno’s lookin like a casino in AC and right across the street was the competition.. PATS. Me n Jsplif been hypin this up for way too long so we ended up getting 1 from Geno’s n 1 from Pats and splittin em just so they could compare which one was the king of philly.
Me: “I was originally drawn to Geno’s cuz the lights and presentation of the building made me think the food would be better quality, so the marketing at Geno’s definitely wins but the food was pretty much the same. I like them both.. i can’t decide.. can i get 2 more?”
Kev Nish: “not feeling fly like a cheeseteak today.. gonna look for some shrimp.”
Virman: “I ran 3 miles today.”
Jsplif: “I gotta give the crown to Pats. The bread was softer and the steak was more flavorful”
Pat’s.
Eating FM Decision: PAT’s gets the 3 Fingers Up

New York, NY
Few hours on the road n we back in NY. Fam been tellin us the spot in NY that’s better than Fatburger and In-n-out in cali would be: Shake Shack
Not even gonna check into our hotel till we try the shack…
We’re not trying to believe there’s a franchise burger chain that tastes better than fatburger and in-n-out… you might remember the battle we had way back with “Fatburger vs In-n-Out” that got pretty heated, so we’re going to throw Shake Shack into the mix for a 3 way battle. We were also with our girl Jessica from People Mag who is also reppin LA so these judges are gonna be critical.
The line was out the door.. like some kind of ride at disneyland.. and that jus meant we had to do it even more. Dude outside was handing out menus… dam got a better selection than fatburger and in-n-out.. 4 kinds of hotdogs, burgers, all kinds of shakes, beer, cupcakes and even cupcakes for dogs? dam.
Ordered the Standard Shake Shack burger… pattie, bun, lettuce, tomato, onion, special shack sauce..
dam.. and had to get a works dog.. ketchup, mustard, relish, spicy peppers, onions, cucumber
One thing they had on the menu that i wont ever understand is a peanut butter milkshake. jsplif swears its the best thing ever invented but i dont get the idea of drinking peanut butter. J ordered it and was downing it faster than shots of patron like it was the best thing he ever drank so i asked for a sip. Huge f*in mistake. U might disagree but it was one of the worst tasting things i’ve ever drank.. and i love peanut butter.. but with jelly on bread. Its one of those flavors you don’t expect to drink and have it refresh you. Sorry but i gotta hate on Splif’s most favorite drink on the planet HAHA.
Selection wise.. Shake Shack beats Fatburger and In-N-out hands down. When we break down the taste and ingredients of the burgers tho… we all took a vote and heres how it lined up:
Eating FM Burger Battle Results:
1. FATBURGER (i disagree with this but everyone else voted this. My number 1 is In-n-out) – over all pattie and ingredients are better quality, juicier bites. plus, you can add an egg to your burger. Kev, J, Virman say its the winner.
2. SHAKE SHACK – Pattie was bigger than In-n-out n the bun was better than both Fatburger and In-n-out. But over all the ingredients couldn’t fade Fatburger.
3. In-N-Out – My personal favorite, but the crew feels it has the smallest pattie and simplest ingredients. They still can’t pass it up when they see it and i even see these fools ordering 2 burgers at a time, but they won’t vote it the best.
