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.

German döner are actually Turkish. Germany has a massive Turkish population. It's so large they have areas in some cities that are primarily Turkish. Even the Turkish president broadcasts to the German Turkish community at times as he knows how influential they are.

All this to say, a German döner is a Turkish one, albeit probably adjusted to German tastes.

Have I had one? Yes, many. Are they good? Definitely.

However, I like the Australian variety just as much, but they are definitely same same different.

That is only partly true. The Döner Kebab was invented in Berlin (by a guy with Turkish origen). Due to the high Turkish population in Germany there are tons of Döner Shops and it is actually much easier to find a Döner in Germany than in Turkey.

It is also where the best Döner is found. The Picture of this NYC Kebab did not make me want to get one. Looked way too thin and i dont get the packaging. I want my Kebab to be rolled into alumium foil and it needs to have sexy curves because of how stuffed the Döner is.

Excuse me, i have go get one right now.
