ADAM WIERCINSKI COMMITS PERJURY AGAINST MANGIA 57, MANGIA 48 - FILES FALLACIOUS LAWSUIT

Mangia Worker Sues After Ten Years of Alleged Anti-Semitism
http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2009/10/mang...ent_list_bottom

Yah, I addressed this already at this article from the NY Post dated May 13, 2009. The article, unfortunately, has been "re-filed/archived" and the original comments no longer appear under the column.

My comment at the time was exactly as follows:

"Wiercinski is presenting his case before the state commission today."

Yes, and it was thrown out almost immediately after it was presented. Incidentally, Mangia did NOT "not return calls," but specifically requested The NY Post submit its inquiry in writing so that the issue could be properly addressed. From what I gather, they were merely uncertain as to the validity of the identity of the reporter calling, and did not want to give out responses over the telephone.

Mangia57 provided evidence which was a clear reflection of Mr.Wiercinski's character. Despite this irrefutable evidence, Mr.Wiercinski pressed on, but finally desisted when asked if he intended "to continue perjuring [him]self."

It's a shame The Post could not wait to print this story, as it would have been a far more worthwhile effort to delineate this as a prime example of the egregious abuse of the New York State legal system (not to mention the abhorrent vilification of an innocent business enterprise).

I am a NYC restaurant consultant and good friend (and fan) of Mangia Corp. I have taken it upon myself to address this article, as I fully appreciate the significance of the "Google algorithm," even if Mangia does not.
[Also, I get the impression they're probably a little too busy dealing with other more pressing matters today, as they are, and remain, the Number One corporate caterer in NYC.]

The case was thrown out then, and thus CANNOT be refiled with the courts, despite Mr.Wiercinski's attempts to file in another borough. Mangia's attormeys are currently dealing with this matter.

By the way, here is the URL for the NY Post article.

Ugh. The Post article one more time--> http://tinyurl.com/ykc4rme

One more thing though-- it would be nice to see an adequate "update" WITHIN the original blog post for a change, because as you can see, comments often get deleted from articles which are still indexed and available via Google.

It would be really really great if "food journalists" were as enthusiastic and diligent about the truth as they are with sordid controversy, for a fucking change.

A former employee of Mangia 57 said he was regularly served heaping helpings of anti-Semitism at the upscale catering company.

Why would Eater say that it’s a system-wide problem after Mangia just announced that it is expanding, but then not say anything about Mangia? Just to knock something by just writing what’s bad and not the rest of the facts? That’s kind of shady.

Yeah, B’eater writes about every single fro-yo shop and hot dog vendor, but they don’t mention a single thing about Mangia, and I know for a fact they got the exact same press release that we printed here and invitations to the private Mangia Tasting. So, all they want to do is intentionally disrespect Sasha while they kiss all the other restaurateur’s asses (even the scumbags), and why? What has he ever done to them? Just because he’s with Abbe? Are they seriously that jealous of Abbe that they would mess with an innocent person’s livelihood?

That is really fucked up, Eater.

“All is not well in the world of restaurateur Sasha Muniak.”

Seriously? With absolutely no mention of all that stuff that is well with his world?

But every time Keith McNally or David Chang scratches their balls, for example, we have to hear about it?

Seriously? Stay classy, Eater.

The simple fact is that it’s just silly to make something like a permit violation into a personal attack. The examples that they presented as personal problems are stupid. Add to that the fact that they didn’t bother to mention the Mangia expansion but went ahead and posted this as though it is a system-wide issue is irresponsible and plain cruel. I barely saw the update but of course couldn’t miss the closing announcement with the big salacious headline and big photo. The announcement for the reopening is tiny in comparison and can hardly be seen.

Agreed it’s reasons like this that Eater is so reviled. The sad part of it is I have heard their so-called faves that always get the kid glove treatment talk shit about them behind their backs, and if they knew who these people are, they would prob actually be surprised.

Mangia Cafe and Catering has been servicing New York City area for over 28 years, and we’ve been busy! From our first shop in 1981, we’ve expanded to 5 different locations in the heart of the city, as well as overseas. We’re Manhattan’s No. 1 corporate caterer, with over 4,000 accounts such as Burberry, Oscar De La Renta, Viacom, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and McGraw Hill. Says The New York Times, "Mangia is an upscale takeout lunch factory, offering everything from soups to salads to pastries to designer sandwiches to filling main courses. The identity is Italian… but much of the food is American. The sandwiches, made to order, are best." Gayot Guide calls us "A favorite quick-and-chic lunch spot for young hip professionals."

As good as the reviews are, we have been busy building a greater experience for our customers while still adhering to the tastes that put us on the map in the first place. Mangia is pleased to announce updates on our services, including:

-Free WiFi at our 23rd street cafe, perfect for business lunches or just checking your email while you enjoy one of our acclaimed paninis.

-The soon-to-be-launched Mangia Organics at 45 west 39st (212 921 9100) featuring all organic and/or sustainable/locally-grown ingredients.

- Our new bakery at our 57th St site (delivering to all 3 Mangia locales), offering mouthwatering treats and original desserts from consummate pastry chef Patrick Coston.

This of course, is in addition to our renowned antipasto bar, mouth-watering baked goods, hot soups, pressed sandwiches, and great service that Mangia earned its reputation on, all at an affordable cost to our customers during tough economic times. And don’t forget about the Mangia Cookbook, which gives away some (but not all!) of our special recipes!

We, at Mangia, are profoundly shocked and dismayed to find egregious and maliciously concocted charges of anti-Semitism and verbal abuse against a former employee are credible and/or plausible to any of our supporters and patrons. We have been an equal opportunity employer for over 28 years, proudly and happily serving New Yorkers since 1981. We have always arduously strived to be an honorable and distinguished company, and thus we were quite astounded and dismayed to have recently been the victim of fraudulent claims against certain members of our management team. These claims were filed with the Division of Human Rights in an attempt to instigate a fallacious lawsuit against Mangia. Thankfully, the case was put to rest quickly, when facts and evidence in our favor inarguably rendered a judicial decision that a lawsuit for these claims was not viable, and all claims were immediately withdrawn.

Despite this instantaneous decision by the governing courts, the claims were forwarded to several media outlets, who subsequently quickly and erroneously published the atrocious and deceitful claims without facts, proof, or complete veracity. These reports now appear on the internet--- some without "update" or retraction, despite our diverse attempts to present the absolute truth and clear our name. Certain blogs and other news outlets have outright ignored the facts, choosing instead to continue in their insatiable quest for the more popular sordid controversy their readership demands.

To this end, we present the official statement from our attorney, Roger Juan Maldonado, regarding the venomous and loathsome claims (which were fallaciously and spuriously filed more recently a second time, despite its utter infeasibility, for the sole purpose of media attention and sensationalism):


"There is no merit to the case. Adam Wiercinski, represented by counsel, agreed to withdraw his claims with prejudice— to avoid potential prosecution for perjury. This means he cannot re-file the claims.

Wiercinski initially and immediately withdrew all claims when asked by the court if he intended to 'continue perjuring [him]self.' There is no lawsuit."


We are deeply hurt, angered, and exasperated by any allegations or assertations to the contrary, as they are inaccurate, misguided, injudicious, and simply untrue. We urgently hope you will consider the facts and not base any judgements on the abhorrent vilification of an innocent company and its employees. If you have and/or are employed for a respectable and hardworking business enterprise yourself, we hope you can find it in your heart to empathize with this dire and unscrupulous matter.

Thank you so much for all your support and patronage over the years.
