Gusto Kong....

Genos says to order in English, so American born activists insist on ordering "pan, bifsteak,y queso".

Sorry, muy stupido, the Spanish word for cheesesteaks is...cheesesteak. The word for hamburger is Hamburger. The Spanish word for perogi is perogi. The Spanish word for spaghetti is spaghetti. The Mexican spanish word for soda is soda...

You ask for "pan, bifsteak y queso", the correct way to be served is to give you a piece of beef (bifsteak is beef, not steak) with a slice of Wonderbread on the side (rolls are pandesal) and a piece of farmer's cheese on the side.(no cheddar in Mexico except imported cheese).

And if you want to order anything at Geno's all you need to learn is one word: "gimme"...

See, that isn't hard.

Even an old lady like me, trying to learn Tagalog at the age of 60, knows to say "gusto Kong" when I want to order.

"Gusto Kung siopao at coke"...yup. works for me.
