The food world is so bloodthirsty lately! Many of my San Francisco friends are fans of Ike’s Place, a sandwich joint in the Castro. Ike’s Place is currently dealing with some neighbors attempting to shut the business down–Eater has devoted no less than eight posts on the topic. The court date is tomorrow! But the Eater coverage pales in comparison to this guy, who breathlessly blogged:
I feel like this is San Francisco’s OJ Simpson Trial. If the food bloggers were the jurors, Ike’s would get off, bloody baguette and all.
Uh, wow. He also says he has never even been there! However, I almost forgive him for comparing the closing of a sandwich shop to the slaughter of two people, because he pointed us to the fantastic comments on this vegansaurus post. The original poster is very gung ho, issuing a rallying cry for people to support Ike’s Place, but his readers are more interested in discussing karma (mean people work at Ike’s) and the fact that someone PhotoShopped Keanu Reeves into the photo above. Yeah, I don’t get it either.–Snacktime
PS Ike’s does have twenty vegan sandwiches! Impressive.
If the sandwiches are so good, why is Keanu so sad?
Everyone in San Francisco is sad.
