Boston Chain Obsessed With Made-From-Scratch Food Touching Down in D.C. - Eater DC
"Thompson Restaurant’s Wiseguy Pizza announced on Wednesday that the chain would be donating a portion of proceeds from all eight location to the Marion Barry Jr. Legacy Foundation during November. The donations are the chain’s response to &pizza’s controversial “Marion Berry Knots,” which were clearly themed around former mayor Marion Barry’s drug arrest and have been getting D.C. community pushback (even after being taken off the menu). Thompson Restaurant’s board president, Warren Thompson, said in a release that he knew Marion Barry personally and it was “deeply inappropriate to use his name and legacy in such a disrespectful manner.”" - Emily Venezky
