Philadelphia "English-only" eatery faces probe

Reuter's report on the "English-only" Philadelphia
cheese steak restaurant. It seems perfectly reasonable to me that
the owner wants to conduct business in English. There's nothing
racist about using the national language. People obviously can
choose to eat elsewhere if they don't like the language -- or the
food for that matter. I imagine that this controversy will prove to
be very good for business. Next time I'm in Philadelphia, I know
where I'm going for a cheese steak sandwich. Geno's Steaks web site seems to be down right now (probably too popular), but you can find more info here.
