Rob (from London, sniffle) pointed out this article about Rebecca Charles, owner of Pearl Oyster Bar, who is suing Ed McFarland, her former sous chef, claiming he has stolen so many elements of her restaurant and incorporated into Ed’s Lobster Bar that it amounts to intellectual property theft. I may have to agree with her on this one, although as Rob pointed out — it’s not the same restaurant, it’s worse. Having been to Pearl earlier this week as a send off for Greta (also sniffle), I agree with him too.
