This is what I don’t get about his success and the people that follow him. He’s not funny. He is an asshole and talks loud in a Boston accent but he doesn’t have any wit. This is the guy morons choose to follow and hang on his every word? I don’t get it
Eh they have never really been in trouble before that I know of. I think the strategy is they sell as many as they can until they get a Cease & Desist then pull them from there store before further action is needed
A buddy said Montes, Flatbread, and Pizzaiolo. I'm guessing he gives that last one his highest rating.
A lot of the other content they put out outside of Portnoy is pretty good. Pardon My Take and the Fore Play guys are great.
If you're the millionaire doing a spot-review in front of someone's pizza place to get clicks, IMO that's enough for you to be required to hold out an olive branch to the guy and take the high road. Kill the camera, calm the guy down. It's not too difficult not to be an escalating shithead when your presence is clearly causing the conflict.
A copyright infringement case isn't capped by how unsuccessful the infringement was. And that tweet's basically self proving. Someone will sue him just for fees and to scratch it off a bucket-list.
Of course but there’s a lot of people that follow him like he’s some hero. I overhear a lot of “you see what el prez said?” around my extended group of friends and at bars all the time. Big Cat is very funny. PFT is very funny. A lot of others are pretty clever or witty. I’ve never seen anything from Portnoy that I find remotely funny. He’s just an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. Which I guess goes a long way with some people
What’s wrong with sando? Honest question as I’ve seen it several times on menus.
Dragon is a lot better at making a pizza than Portnoy is at anything. He’s an asshole and appeals to people’s worst instincts. The Dragon owner is spot on in this video, and we would be wise to treat Portnoy like Shank and simply ignore him.
It's a weird - and wholly unnecessary - adoption of a Japanese term for a sandwich. I've seen it used a few times in boujee spots - I've actually seen a $13 "baloney sando" on a menu. Gross.
It’s a shortening of the word sandwich. Claiming it’s anything beyond that is foolish.
Interesting. I had no idea. I think it’s possible some of these places just abbreviated sandwiches to sandos. Kinda like sammies.
The whole thing, with "Dom" walking in then the apparent doctor or nurse with scrubs on followed by the "F you" off, felt like a very SNL-ish skit of a stereotype Boston street scene. I wouldn't be overly surprised if it WAS staged.
Hmm interesting. There are numerous eateries in my general vicinity that put "sandos" on the menu, and the owners are generally progressive and thoughtful folks otherwise. They probably just see it as a shortening of "sandwich" like I previously did.
You're objectively incorrect. Google the word "sando" and get back to me.
It's "cute?" It's "quirky?"
They're getting a $13 sandwich with a dumb name. That's it.
Or....there are multiple uses for the same word. Google the words Letterkenny sando.
You're being pretty silly here, for absolutely no reason.
See, I thought hipsters frequented restaurants that call sandwiches “sandos.” How weird.
100%.
I think it's dumb as well. It's another language's shortening of a transliteration. If you're making the exact item from their culture, then fine use the word. But using it because you think it sounds cute or hip is annoying.
Shows what you know. If it was a hipster thing, someone like you clearly wouldn't have heard about it.
Yeah, at worst this illustrates the difference between assimilation and appropriation, and we are on the right side of the distinction!
I don't really give a shit about him but Portnoy was all in with supporting Peter Frates before it was "cool".
I mean, there were so many people behind that movement. Was he the first? The most influential? I doubt it.
