This guy is awesome. He is well within his rights. Why is it that it's always constitutional rights that get trampled under the guise of violating the law? Go Joey!

Philadelphia - While the Commission on Human Relations may think the fight against cheesesteak tycoon Joey Vento is out for the count, the steak slinger himself said he's got one more round in him.

From the brick walkway honoring fallen Philadelphia police officers outside Geno's Steak in South Philadelphia, Mr. Vento, flanked by his attorneys, said he is giving the Commission on Human Relations 30 days to decide whether or not to change a vital piece of its policy - or else they will sue.
On March 19, the commission, in spite of pressure from City Council to press the issue, vindicated Mr. Vento by ruling his store front sign, "This is America, When Ordering Please Speak English," did not violate a city ordinance.

Good for him.
We could use a few million more like him in Pennsylvania.
Does he deliver to Illinois?

The “other” place across the street makes slightly better sandwiches (im my opinion) but you know what? Vento gets my cash.
Watch your language an know wat you're gonna order.
Kent you’ve got a great idea there! Joey Vento for President. I can see the bumper stickers now.
“Does he deliver “
Not in the wilds of Colorado, either.
I wish these guys delivered, also!

Right, after all there hasn’t been an “Italian-American” President. So since the libs are all into hypenateds who haven’t heretofore occupied the Oval Office, then surely they would join in supporting Mr. Vento’s candidacy.
Talk about a consensus . . . right? I can hear it now:
“Ven-toe Ven-toe Toe-gah Toe-gah”
Hold on here. He’s suing because the commission found in his favor? Sore winners are rare but I guess we’ve found one. I have no tolerance for those who pick fights for the sake of picking fights which is apparently the case here.
“It took way too long, was very costly, and denied Joey his basic rights,” he said.
“This is a first amendment question,” said Shannon Goessling, executive director and chief legal counsel of the Southeastern Legal Foundation based out of Atlanta, Ga., and co-counsel to Mr. Vento.
“We’re asking City Council to appoint a special panel to evaluate the process of the [Human Relations] commission and to rewrite its policy so it’s not unconstitutional,” she said.
“The commission’s decisions are purely arbitrary and it’s not what we deserve as citizens.”
And the marxists will find another target if people like Vento don’t fight back.
Thanx for summarizing the point for the lurkers. It did sound confusing at first - why sue those who ruled in his favor? You cleared that up...
Yeah, It confused me too. Might have been a headline writer who disagrees with Mr. Vento was muddying the waters.
I will gladly kick in a few bucks for this effort.... seeing as I cannot get them to Fedex a delicious, mouth watering “Cheez Wit,” out here to Japan, or otherwise patronize them.
I mean, make 'em cry and scream, so they learn the lesson to not fool with us in the future. Everytime they attack us, bring it back in their faces double fold. Go Genos!
That’s Pat’s.
