Bay Area chefs are ditching their favorite burger buns over the maker’s extreme right-wing politics

Often lauded as the optimal bun for smashburgers, the squishy, yellow potato roll has been a holy grail for burger geeks around the country.

The reigning champ among those buns has to be the one from Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, a family-owned company based in Chambersburg, Penn. It catapulted to fame with the rise of Shake Shack, which uses its bread exclusively at its locations around the world. Locally, use of the Martin’s potato bun, at operations like Wesburger, Kowbird and Smish Smash, has signified chefs’ seriousness about their sandwiches.

On May 12, Philadelphia news outlet Billy Penn (a news site associated with radio station WHYY) published an article tying the Martin family to Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, the GOP candidate for governor

This country cannot coexist.
This country cannot agree to disagree.
The Left will crush anyone who fails to toe the Party Line.
I know my 20th century history. I know where this will go.

There is only one way to reunite this country. Term Limits. One and done gets rid of racism, sexism, rich vs poor, etc. Politicians create these conflicts to gain power and stay in office.

Being a politician should not be a career. Too many conflicts of interest as it takes what is good for the country and turns it into what is good for the politician.

the owner of the bakery will not label hamburger buns “HotDogBuns” and vice versa... the owner says, this is how they are made and should be comfortable in their creation rather than identifying as something they are obviously not.

What kind of social credit score does it take to get outed as unwoke in the local SF paper?

[cyclotic]

We don’t buy a whole lot of bread, but Martin’s just became my brand.

How long can this chit go on before lead starts flying.

San Franfreakos need to be boycotted.

Like the Ukrainians when they find out a product is Russian.

I don't know but I'm reasonably certain if that happens, most of the leftards will run for their Mom's basement.

“There is only one way to reunite this country. Term Limits. One and done gets rid of racism, sexism, rich vs poor, etc. Politicians create these conflicts to gain power and stay in office.”

Yes. And the only way to get those is through COS. Hence the hysteria when COS is brought up here.

The loons mean “conservative politics.”

Support of PA Governor candidate (current PA State Senator) Doug Mastriano who won the GOP primary.

Mastriano was endorsed by Trump and has alleged ties to January 6 activities.
