I guess it's good for Geno that Philly is a city that doesn't exactly attract a lot of foreign vacationers.

nice lede: "a legal pickle..."
nice reference "asked the cheesesteak wiz to take down the sign"

I'm torn on this one. I see both sides.

Personally, I prefer American cheese to Cheez Whiz.

Great advertising for them.

Am I wrong, or is Geno's the place that makes you order in specific cheesesteak terms, and if you blow it, you have to go to the back of the line? I remember reading about someone up there doing that.

So does that mean he's only going to hire people who speak English fluently and well?

That's the one. Good for Geno!

Pat's is just as bad. My mother actually got yelled at one time for trying to order fries from the cheesesteak window. And whiz without for me, please.

I bring it up because (in theory) couldn't some tourist or cheesesteak n00b sue for many of the same reasons being brought up here? I know the sign is what's at issue, but in a sense it's worse because they actually are denying access (or severely delaying it) based on language. Though I supposed cheesesteak isn't a federally recognized language ... yet.

Un bisteca con queso, por favor.

NO SOUP CHEESESTEAK FOR YOU!  :D

Last summer I received a strict talking-to from my younger brother about Geno's ordering etiquette. I even said to him, "What is this the Soup Nazi???"

Sue for what, exactly?

That's not a very flattering article. Geno sounds like a grade A assclown.

I made the obligatory stop at Geno's when I was in Philly for the NCAA tournament. Count me as one who was tremendously underwhelmed by Geno's cheesesteak.

I tend to think that's the real reason Geno's did this.
