East Coast and West coast hip-hop fans are outraged over a proposed special menu at a popular Washington, D.C. restaurant.

In February, Graffiato is hosting an East Coast vs. West Coast Biggie & Tupac Tribute Dinner. According to the Washington City Paper, the proposed menu was posted on the restaurant's website, but was removed after complaints.

The menu featured items such as Lil Kimchee, Wu-Tangy dressing, thug rice and milk chocolate chip blunts.

Social media reaction was quick, with the menu called offensive, distasteful and racist.

Graffiato owner Mike Isabella declined to be interviewed, but released a statement saying that the menu is “still a work in progress.”
