Joey Vento of Geno's Steaks has died
I'm not even a huge fan of Geno's Steaks. But this is a sad day- Joey Vento dies at age 71. God Bless!

I actually have met Joey on numerous occasions and have even been invited to his house. He was a definitely a good guy. He will be missed.

Such a shame to see. Any implication of what he died from?
I don't eat cheesesteaks but it seemed like he made a big difference in the city

My family has had the fortunate opportunity to do business with Joey and Geno for 25+ years. He may of came off as a hard ass and people obviously have their opinions on the man, but knowing him personally for a long time he was a great man that would do anything for you. RIP Joey you will be missed. |

He got there second and threw up some flashy lights to steal customers away... Benevolent or not... I dont agree with his racist attitude...
Did his Italian family speak English when they arrived in America? Hell no... I'm entitled to my opinion... Last edited by Vr-4-Life; 08-24-2011 at 11:29 PM. |

It's to early to argue, but your opinion is mis-guided. I only speak English. I can't talk to the carpet layers cause they speak Spanish, can't talk to the mason's cause they speak polish, can't talk to the painter's cause they speak turk or whatever turk's speak, the linoleum guy speaks Japaneese, framer's speak brazillian, so on. How the hell is this house ever gonna get built?
Most common uniting force in a nation is it's language, a single recognized language. And I agree, you are entitled to your opinion.

Vento said that no one has been refused service for not speaking English, but said, "If I can't understand you, you might not get the sandwich you thought you ordered."
So how bout dem apples?

When you immigrate, you assimilate. Period. My ancestors did it and so did yours.
If I ran my own business I would absolutely refuse service to anyone who wouldn't even attempt to speak English. What's ignorant is moving to a foreign country and expecting that they adapt to you.
