Cardi B Teams Up With Keith Lee to Share Thoughts on This Los Angeles Burger Joint
Cardi B isn’t one to mince words when it comes to her opinion on food, as she’s dissed the Los Angeles restaurant scene in the past.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper fittingly teamed up with viral food critic Keith Lee on Sunday (March 17) to give a review of the Easy Street Burgers L.A. location. “You guys know how I feel about L.A. food. It’s not my favorite, but I got a good recommendation about this place,” said Cardi.
“Since this person recommended this place, if I don’t like it I want to tell this person in their face that I don’t like it,” she began before bringing in Lee. “I’m like a real big burger expert so if I don’t like it I’m going to tell you in your face.”
Cardi fancies herself as a burger connoisseur and explained that her expectations are high since she just had some of the best burgers she’s ever tasted during a recent Colombia trip.
She compared Easy Street’s jalapeño monster burger to a “fancier Shake Shack” as she enjoyed the presentation of it. Cardi dished out a nine out of 10 rating for the smashburger. “This taste like a chopped cheese,” Cardi B told the former MMA fighter, comparing it to the classic NYC sandwich. “This taste like a healthier Shake Shack. They made it with love.”
Not the biggest fan of having bacon mixed with her burgers, the Bronx native wasn’t as impressed with the bacon grill onion burger option, which she gave a seven out of 10 after a couple of bites.
“I give this one a second you gotta be a bacon lover — the bacon is too much,” she added.
Cardi B is doing it all in 2024. The 31-year-old turned up the heat on the music side with a pair of singles to kick off the year. The Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hit “Like What (Freestyle)” and “Enough (Miami)” both arrived earlier in March as it’s full steam ahead toward her anticipated sophomore album.
