Parse.com, underscore templates, View's model and current user

I am failing to fill my user profile template using Parse.User.Current() as my model. Without further ado, here is what I have :

HTML

  <script type="text/template" id="edit_profile_template">
    <h1><%= _.escape(city) %></h1>
  <script>

JS - From Backbone's router

  new EditProfileView({model: Parse.User.current()});

JS - From EditProfileView

el : "#page_content", 

initialize : function() {
  this.render();
},

render : function() {
  console.log(this.model);
  this.$el.html(_.template($("#edit_profile_template", TEMPLATES).html()));
},

this.model does contain the current user object, but I get city is not defined from the template. Any idea why?

I am using the exact same syntax for our chat application, using a custom Chat object instead of Parse.User, and it is working flawlessly.

IS there any restriction in using Parse.User as a model for my views?

EDIT TEMPLATES here is defined as follows at the entry point of my application : 

  var TEMPLATES = $("#templates", "body");

I use it to improve the efficiency of the app, so I don't parse the whole DOM every time I am switching views (that is to say all the time :).

From what I can tell, it seems as though the data from your model is not being passed into your template. Try something like this - 

var tmp = _.template($("#edit_profile_template", TEMPLATES).html());
this.$el.html(tmp(this.model.toJSON()));

I think that may work, assuming the model has a key named city
