Bingley's Favorite Greasy Spoon
The owner of a famous cheesesteak shop did not discriminate when he posted signs asking customers to speak English, a city panel ruled Wednesday.In a 2-1 vote, a Commission on Human Relations panel found that two signs at Geno's Steaks telling customers, "This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH,'" do not violate the city's Fair Practices Ordinance.

Do we need Dean Martin playing in the background, Diptera? I mean, YOU'VE actually been there, so I look to you for guidance in Bingster's absence.

Yeah, hearing that news was a nice surprise when I got out of work last night and put the radio on in the car! Man, that was a long fight.

It's preferred but not mandatory, Ms. Sister.
When the cheez and the steak
Makes your heart start to ache
That's amore!
Although you should probably stick to the original...

Kate, you'll have to meet up with 'Fly and I on our next Geno-thon!

I'd love to! Although I do sauce instead of cheese b/c of my allergies.
Strangely enough, I have a weird connection to Pat's: for all four years of high school, in homeroom I sat behind one of daughters in the Pat's family. I think her older brothers run it now.

You know, I probably should have said "cheesy" spoon.
Damn, I'm hungry.

When the beef and the goo,
Drip no more on your shoe,
Time for mor-e!

Oh man I wish I could get in on that. A nice, big Geno's cheesesteak washed down with a cold Yuengling Black and Tan.
Now that's Amoré!
