Patronizing Papa

Papa John's has been good to our city, and UofL athletics. Dastardly Dominos, in its latest attempt to fend off the dreaded "cardboard" label, is meekly fighting back during the Super Bowl tomorrow. I can't say I completely follow this blurb, but here's the latest on the war from the CJ....
Domino's Pizza is taking on Louisville-based Papa John's International and its "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza," tagline in an advertisement slated to run ahead of the Super Bowl.
In a sneak peek, Dow Jones Newswires reported that Domino's cites a recent taste test in which it beat Papa John's.
Domino's head chef Brandon Solano digs up a 10-year-old legal battle of Papa John's, where a court ruled the chain could continue using the slogan, calling it "puffery" but not misleading.
Solano's retort: "Our pizzas taste better and that's not puffery. That's proven."
I don't know who this Brandon Solano clown is, but frankly, he sounds made up. If you're ordering tomorrow, know that the Papa has the highly-coveted Cardinal Laws endorsement.
