PornHub owner MindGeek is threatening a kebab shop in NYC with trademark infringement::If you’ve been listening to the Vergecast you know the standard for trademark infringement is “likelihood of confusion,” and while it’s true the Hub is known for ⚫️🟠, something tells me the folks walking into Doner Haus aren’t confused about what’s on the menu. Full story in Chelsea News, a hyperlocal NYC news site, via Verge pal Alexandra Roberts.
All I’m getting out of this is it’s potentially possible to get doner kebab in the US, and I should take a trip to New York
There’s tons of good doner kebab in the US, and you don’t need to go to NY to get it. Sorry it’s not in your area, though! That’s a huge bummer.
They have a lot of gyros that aren’t gyros and are actually turks doing kebabs so there might be more than you think
We used to have a pretty good German street food restaurant in Fresno of all places. They had a pretty awesome döner. Unfortunately that only lasted like 2 years before closing.
I live in a doner desert. I mean, there are places that CLAIM to have doner kebab around here, but they have apparently never been to Germany. There’s something so perfect about Turkish food with heavy German influence that I haven’t been able to find anywhere outside of Germany.
I’m glad you had two years of joy in Fresno, but sorry about the closure
There’s a place in Dallas with döner kebab in the name.
Yeah, but is it comparable to German doner kebab?
There’s ten places with that in the name where I live, and all of them are pretending to be doner kebab
