Apaprently lived to a ripe age eating cheesesteaks.
I’ll take that as good news.
To: Freedom_Fighter_2001
I hope St. Peter is hungry for a cheese steak.
I also hope they don’t change things there at Gino’s because I have never been there but would like to one day.

I remember hearing his ads on the radio criticizing illegal immigration. They were refreshing.

My sentiments exactly. Having eaten many of his cheesesteaks ... wit.

I think he was a true patriot, who worked hard and loved his land of opportunity.

I went there once and they made it more than clear as to what they thought of this fine gentleman (and it wasn’t pretty)...

Being from Philly area I can confirm that Joey was an awesome dude. He was an unabashed conservative who delighted in sticking his thumb in the eye of liberal silliness.
To: lormand
I also hope they dont change things there at Ginos because I have never been there but would like to one day. His family has run the shop for years, nothing will change ... he planned ahead.

RIP sir Joseph. Cheesesteaks in Heaven just got an upgrade. Sorry Maxine Waters-—God doesn’t wish to travel to hell where no cheesesteaks of quality are found.

Yeah, he was a huge suppporter of Maureen Faulkner, and keeping the memory of her slain husband alive.
It's a damn shame that the scumbag outlived Joey. :(

Aw, man. Wasn’t he the one who was interviewed on the Travel Channel, wearing a heavy gold chain, who really loved his job and came in early in the morning? RIP Joey ...

Sorry to hear. Hard working guy.
Plug for the best if you're in the area though.

Travel Channel is having the “Steak Show” on right now, featuring the Geno’s vs. Pat’s steaks segment.

R. I. P. Joey.
BTW, was it at his place that “Jean-Francois Kerree” tried to order Swiss cheese on his cheesesteak?

How to Order a Philly Cheesesteak:
When ordering a cheesesteak, the idea is to let the cashier know a.) that you would like a cheesesteak, b.) what type of cheese you want, and c.) whether or not you want fried onions. And you have to be as concise as possible while doing so.
Locals have become so adept at this practice that they basically have it down to three words: saying one wiz with to the person behind the counter means that you would like one cheesesteak [denoted by the one] with Cheeze Wiz as your choice of cheese [denoted by the wiz] and with fried onions [denoted by the with].
Similarly, saying one provolone without would secure you a single cheesesteak [one] made with provolone cheese [provolone] and without fried onions [without].

Joe Vento was more than just a cheese-steak slinger. More than just a Philadelphia fixture. He was an American patriot and a man who didn't bow to political correctness.
We need a million more just like him. Instead, he's a dying breed.
