The self-righteous behavior is going both ways on this one.
Seriously, you’re hanging him out to dry over some hyperbole?
Sacrilege, have you spoken to the owner that you know his intention was getting non-kosher families to start keeping kosher and not to just turn a dollar? Do you even honestly see subway as the thing standing between a reasonably average person and kosher eating?
Wolfish et al.:
Your retort was just a straw man. Nobody goes out of their way to specifically eat goyish spaghetti. That’s just what’s available. And even more likely- that’s just what is cheapest.
The point he was trying to make and which I agree with, is that how much tavya do we have to have to go so far as to davka make a restaurant with the same NAME as the goyim? Its one thing to eat a sub, its a tasty food, fine. But to make a restaurant with their name just so that we can say that we can also eat at subway? And I think we all know that this is what their shtik was that they were trying to cash in on.
