Thanks!!

Vento was a controversial figure, perhaps known best for signs at his steak shop requiring customers to order in English

Since when it is 'controversial' to ask someone to speak English in an English speaking country?

Did you see this??

God bless Joey and his family.

Awh man! I had a couple of those cheese steak sandwiches at his place.

Some guy was screaming “Onion?!” “Onion?!”

I asked him “What?”

His reply was “I ain’t got all day. You want onions or do I giver your sandwich to the next guy and you can get back in line?”

I laughed and told him to load it up.

Yuhmmmmmm!!!!!

[Vendome]

Been to his place too.

You know whut?

They’re al good.

[Vendome]

Who? Wouldn’t want fried Onions????

Neil Cavuto had Joey on his program on Fox a few times. He really liked Joey and Joey’s patriotic attitude. I wonder if Cavuto will say something about him on his show tomorrow. RIP Joey, you were a good man.

He was the one who put up the signs that customers had to order in English, isn’t he ? My 20-something sons would drive from VA to Philly, usually on the spur of the minute somewhere around midnight, just to get a cheesesteak. Then come right back home.

RIP Mr. Vento, from a suburban Philly girl.

[Erik Latranyi]

Prayers for the family of a great man.

Oh, for those of you thinking about heaven’s cheesesteaks getting an upgrade, just remember, that the liberal idea of heaven would ban cheesesteaks, sodas, fries, etc, etc, etc

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

Correct-a-mundo, lmo!

Pat's ready employer of the worst sort of illegal aliens (because they work cheaper than kids in the neigborhood), keepers of a filthy eye sore, and host to every D presidential nominee since at least Mike Dukakis.

7 years shorter than our current life expectancy isn’t really a ripe age.

[southern rock]

Apaprently lived to a ripe age eating cheesesteaks. I’ll take that as good news.

71 isn't really ripe or old. And there is nothing healthy or good for you about cheese or steak or the white bread he served it on. Bad eats all around.

But, apparantly he was a good dude. But what the hell was up with that gold chain?

Indeed, as I suspected, Neil Cavuto gave a moving tribute to Joey at the end of his show today on Fox. Neil greatly admired Joey, had him on his show quite a bit, and they both celebrated their Italian heritage. Thank you Neil for remembering your friend Joey in your commentary. It made me very proud of you too.
