Excerpt:

It seems that Joseph Vento, Geno’s owner, feels strongly that everyone in this country ought to speak English - even if they’re tourists from faraway climes looking for that fabled Philly cheesesteak fix.

Vento insists his customers order in English. No pointing at the menu items. Speak English, a sign at Vento’s popular, curbside counter reads.

This comes from a man whose Italian-born grandparents spoke limited English. Talk about irony thicker than Cheez Whiz.

Ok, that’s just dumb. I’m happy I never went there.
