Comet Ping Pong Deemed Dangerous to DC Residents
Comet Ping-Pong is an Upper Northwest DC restaurant that serves amazing pizzas made with local ingredients (they commission a tomato farmer in VA as their sauce source), killer jerk chicken wings and wonderful organic salads. They also have three ping-pong tables in a back room, which adds to the fun. The combination of great affordable food and ping-pong has made the restaurant a neighborhood favorite. So who would oppose it?
Enter Frank Winstead, Area Neighborhood Commissioner and angry man looking for a cause. He is the ultimate wet blanket and succeeded in banning Comet’s outdoor ping pong table as it was deemed a danger to the public. He also harrasses the restaurant on a regular basis. From DCist:
Winstead also accused Comet’s co-owner James Alefantis of, “trying to turn this area into Adams Morgan with the murders and rapes,” and, “filling up his fat wallet.” He also made assertions that the restaurant wasn’t up to D.C. health codes and directly asked Alefantis if he had ever spit in a customer’s food.
Viewing Frank Winstead’s indictment of Comet Ping Pong, and the dangers of an outdoor ping pong table, on YouTube would convert many to being a food libertarian so pass it on. You really have to watch it as it is hilarious. Here it is in all of its lititigous glory:
