Woke Portland pizza restaurant hits diners with anti-ICE propaganda and bizarrely declares ‘food is political’
Fox News ^ | 2/17/26 | Chris Bradford

A woke Portland, Oregon, pizza restaurant bombarded diners visiting its website with an unhinged anti-ICE rant — before bizarrely claiming that food is political.

The note posted on Tastebud’s website, which has gone viral, called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and surfaced weeks after the deaths of anti-ICE protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

“Ice out everywhere,” the notice said.

“Food is political. No one is illegal on stole land. F‐-- Ice. Abolish Ice.”

The note then started to ramble about issues such as the Jeffrey Epstein files and transgender politics.

“Release the Trump/Epstein files. Free Palestine. Black Lives Matter. Trans women are women. Love your LGBTQ+ neighbors. The Holocaust was real,” the unhinged tirade continued.

Website visitors met with the note before they could subscribe to the restaurant’s newsletter.

Critics accused the restaurant of choosing politics over pies, with some promising to boycott the establishment.

The restaurant faced a torrent of backlash online and the note has since been toned down.

“Since receiving attention for our statement, we have experienced a surge of hateful, harassing, and abusive reviews, calls, and emails. This is concerning for our staff, our family, and our guests,” a Tastebud spokesperson told Fox News.

The restaurant told the outlet all diners are welcome.

“We killed them all,” the chief replied.


I forget the details, but in one case (maybe yours since it was near the Great Lakes) they went hundreds of miles to kill the last member of ‘Tribe A’ who was hiding out with another tribe.

One reason teams are named after Indians is that while they were often our enemies, they were formidable enemies worthy of respect.

I guess I’d need to see what was “hateful”, etc. From a leftist perspective, any disagreement whatever with their position is hateful, etc....

“No one is illegal on stole land.”

___________________________________________________

Not even the people who stole it? This !@#$-for-brained idiot hasn’t even thought through his own logic. If his business and home reside on “stolen land”, then he’s morally obligated to return all of it to the rightful heirs. Anyone think he’ll do it?

I came here for that comment. When leftists politicize food, mass democide follows every time.

If the restaurant is on stolen land and illegal aliens should be allowed to stay, then you should be able to steal the food, right?

Food is political to those who would withhold it from their enemies.

“Go into it wearing a Trump/Vance T-shirt and see how welcome you feel...”

They’ll make you FEEL welcome. And you’ll be served. You just don’t know WHAT you’ll be served. (Can you taste other people’s phlegm?)

“No one is illegal on stole land. “

Sigh...firstly learn English it’s stolen not stole.

Secondly the land was never stolen it was conquered by superior force. Know the difference. We didn’t steal “Indian land” we came as conquistadors and conquered then we became FOUNDERS and built a civilization on it. Speaking of Texas and the South West. The brits and the colonies have a different history.
