Forkgate: Mayor Deblasio Caught in the Act by NYPD in the "Forgotten Borough"

Mayor De Blasio was visiting the original Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza on Hylan Blvd. Staten Island(The Forgotten Borough) for his first summit with business owners and local city representatives when he got himself involved in his biggest scandal to date. The summit was moving along at a pleasant pace and new Mayor was graciously entertaining any and all local concerns with genuine interest when suddenly he reached for a fork and knife to eat the Smoking Goodfella Pizza. The predominately Italian American audience was stunned since any New Yorker knows you "don't eat pizza with a fork". Luckily Cosentino after years of training and working the streets was able to tempoarily contain the feeding frenzy of the press with back up by his partners Scot and Andy. Scot Cosentino said "I think he is just trying to be polite about it, alright. We will talk to him on the side about it". Andrew Scudera had this to say "we are known for our gourmet pizza and winning the International pizza contest so people come from all over the world to try our gourmet pizza cooked in our wood burning oven. I have seen people eat pizza both ways and it doesn't matter to me as long as they enjoy it".
  Marc used professional courtesy, alertness and discretion to contain the crowd and de-escalate the tense situation. As soon as the the opportunity arose he stepped in, collected the fork in question,  marked and labeled it to preserve the evidence chain and "resumed pizza patrol". Scot left off with a chuckle " in retrospect I guess we will have to added a section to our pizza school called "Pizza Eating Etiquette 101".
