Flash Mob at Geno’s

So the flap won’t die down at Geno’s, where owner Joe Vento still shows a sign indicating he won’t serve you unless you order in English.  Well, young college kids with absolutely nothing to do on a Saturday came up with a great idea this passed Saturday.  What if we got a bunch of people together to order Cheesesteaks in a bunch of different languages?

Well, watch the video and read what happened! Why call the cops?  Was it harassment?  I don’t know… Were they trespassing?  Maybe?? Still all and all very funny.

Cheesesteak pioneer dies

When a legend dies, we all weep.  I know it seems weird to call a man who invented the cheesesteak a legend, but he is.  I don’t know if Harry Olivieri is more responsible than Pat (who is the namesake of the famous Philadelphia Landmark Pat’s Steaks.)  I suppose that’s for historians to decide.  Okay, I guess, I can decide.  It was Harry who was responsible for the meal that keeps my stomach looking like I’m nearing my second tri-mester.

It’s 3:40am, I’m starving… and I know that Pat’s Steaks (from now I’m I will call Harry’s) is the one thing that will halt my hunger.  But I made a rule with myself, to only get 1 cheesesteak per month.  So, I will have to wait, the month is almost over, so I plan on getting a steak soon.  I just have to wait for the right moment.  But celebrating the life of Harry Olivieri is probably the best way, I suppose?
