We lost a good man yesterday...

[Johnny Rockets]

The owner of a south Philadelphia cheesesteak shop who once instructed customers to order only in English has died, according to to relatives.

Vento founded Geno's in 1966 in Philadelphia, where it sits across the street from another cheesesteak shop, Pat's King of Steaks

Geno's became a popular stop for presidential candidates on the campaign trail and a photo gallery on the restaurant's website shows employees posing with celebrities such as Oprah, Shaquille O'Neal and Ray Romano.

Vento made national headlines in 2006 when he posted a sign on one of his restaurant's windows that read, "This is America. When ordering, please speak English."

How does Pat feel about all this?

I've been to both. Cheeze whiz sucks.

I think they should treat it as a homicide and make Pat suspect #1.

I love both those places. I used to get sent to Lansdale for training once a year and first thing we did was to ride the train to Philly for a real cheesesteak.
