Founder of Barstool Sports and social media personality Dave Portnoy recently visited the capital city and graced his fans with his infamous “one-bite” food reviews for several Lincoln favorite restaurants.
He reviewed local pizza favorites such as Valentino’s, Yia Yia’s, and MōMō Pizzeria & Ristorante… and of course, Portnoy couldn’t escape recommendations that he had to try the hallmark Nebraska fast-food chain Runza.
Portnoy published his reviews on social media, which can be viewed below.
His review of Runza, notable for his off-base comparison of the classic Runza to a cheesesteak… despite the regular Runza having no cheese in it:

Regardless of his food ratings, Portnoy was not shy in peppering each review with Husker fans’ signature call to arms, “GBR!”
