Twitter as an outlet for... Throwing Down?

So big name restauranteur Stephen Starr (owner of very well known places here in Philadelphia such as Buddakan, Morimoto, Continental, and many more) recently opened up a burger, yes a burger, joint here in Philadelphia. In fact, he's also planning on opening up a pizza restaurant in the near future as well.

Well, as it appears, Mr. Starr has managed to set off a few restaurant owners with his comments about current restaurants in Philadelphia, one of which being "you can't get good pizza [in Philly]".

Obviously, if you're an established restaurant insulted by such comments and wishing to defend your honor, the next step vindication is to challenge Stephen Starr to a burger-off... via twitter. In fact, challenger Tommy Up even writes a declaration of what pretty much amounts to war:

PYT VS Stephen Starr

"War is a continuation of politics by other means"
- Carl von Clausewitz

It's hard to say where the war started. If I had to guess, it would be when Stephen Starr smugly proclaimed, "I can't get really good pizza here in Philadelphia". But to lay that bit of blasephmy [sic] down as the sole cause would be too simple. I think it all started with the pajamas on servers and the conveyor belts for food.

I remember in high school, there was this wrestler who widely thought to be unbeatable. He was a brute. We all heard the stories of how his parents had flown him to Russia to train with the greatest combatants in the world and that he had won 1000 matches before he was 13. He was an unstoppable force and had dominated the state for years. Until he was stopped and pinned to the mat... by a previously unknown 17 year old child. The child had not believed the stories of this prodigy and he trained for a full year, alone, carrying monster truck tires up and down the stadium stairs with only one simple goal in his mind: I will win.

So Stephen Starr, we say to you, and to your legion of SRO minions all wearing identical black suits and black t-shirts that have been washed one too many times: we are your 17 year old unknown. We make a better burger than you and we will prove it.

Going after your latest venture, Nerdburger- sorry, SQUAREburger- makes the most sense. We are both new and are both focused on the burger. But it has been brought to our attention that the burger there is hardly worthy of a challenge. So we extend with confidence the challenge to any burger in any of your many, many venues. Burger VS Burger. Two burgers enter, one burger leaves. You get the picture.

Ignore this challenge if you will...like you have been ducking me all week ( SeeFoobooz or Grub Street ), but you can't duck the truth. I stand here, a simple man, without a conveyor belt or an army of giant buddhas, waiting to beat your burger into the ground. Pun intended.
