Episode 010 - Singer/rapper/chef Chris Robert aka Franklin joins the show. Chris starts the conversation with Len & Gary talking about his work as a professional chef, learning the ropes from family members, working his way from the cash register to the kitchen, comparing different cuisines & equating cooking to music, the secrets of New York Pizza, the differences In food between the US and the rest of the world, and why you shouldn’t work in the restaurant industry if you’re a racist. They then steer to the subject of music, discussing hardcore & hip hop. The boys then delve into Chris’ background living in NJ & Philly, Florida and back. A mention of Gary’s hatred of Hulk Hogan leads into a serious discussion about how recording technology is finally exposing inherent racism in America. After a longer discussion of classic hip hop, Chris talks about his hip hop alter ego Franklin and his latest project Bake Sale.
