As soon as the FaceTime call connected, Café Fresco Paxton Street owner Megan Elia let loose with screams, shouts and a few F-bombs.
“I cursed in the video a lot. My mother didn’t like that,” Megan confided to PennLive on Saturday “I said, ‘Mom this is huge!’”
Huge because a call from controversial Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy means cash to keep the restaurant going. Amid all the COVID-19 lockdowns, Portnoy launched the Barstool Fund, “putting his money where his mouth is” to help mom-and-pop restaurants and challenging others to do the same.
