Tony Gemignani is a big name in pizza here in the Bay Area–world pizza champion, several restaurants, etc. Just before the pandemic, he was opening a bread bakery in North Beach, the main Italian neighborhood in SF (where his pizza restaurants started), and someone on the street called him a dago. So he now runs Dago Bagels out of the bakery. They’re pretty darn good.

Thanks for that.
Tremendous.
The tee pees I drove past for years
I guess there’s something to be said for just owning a slur. And that one’s pretty archaic. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it come out of an actual human being’s mouth. But I’d have a hard time answering the phone there.
Fortunately, the name of the bakery is Toscano Brothers–Dago Bagels is just the bagel part. And yeah, I thought that slur had gone into the dustbin of history.

A SoCal landmark. My wife grew up within a few miles of the first one and they recently opened an OC location less than a mile from our son’s house. Our grandkids are ecstatic.

Good find.
P.S. We once tailed a WienerMobile on the way to a special lunch.
P.P.S. A college friend (and a great lead singer) worked one summer job operating a Good Humor[?] ice cream truck. Betcha he’d have preferred being stationary:

I’ve been lucky enough to see the Wiener Mobile (currently known as the Frankmobile) twice, both times at local grocery stores. The first time I was about ten, the second time was a few years ago. ISTR both times they gave me a whistle shaped like the Wiener Mobile. The second time they let me climb aboard and look around. Unfortunately that predated cameras in cell phones, so I didn’t get any pix.
Thanks bbqboy,
That’s my car. We had to raise the roof on the garage in order to get it in. It comes in handy when we want to start a campfire on our vacation.
