Food Alert

This will be of interest to members of the Writers Guild in Los Angeles.  Sorry to all others.

Gino’s East is one of the more popular deep dish restaurants in Chicago.  A few years ago, they opened a branch in Sherman Oaks, which is owned and operated by longtIme WGAW member Tod Himmel and SAG/AFTRA member Dan Michaels.

They sent an email today with a bunch of new specials, but then wrote (and the bold-face is all theirs) --

"We would not have been able to open our business if not for the wages, benefits, residuals and pensions we earned thanks to our guilds’ collective bargaining.

"We support our WGAW comrades in the fight for a living wage. Bring in your WGA/SAG card and receive 25% off any pizza during the work stoppage."

Well, good on them.

They're located at 12924 Riverside Drive,, Sherman Oaks.  (818) 788-5050.
