Sparks Fly
After seeing my post yesterday about the name-our-restaurant contest in the East Village, Gene Steger e-mailed with a link to a similar deal in Englewood, Colorado, but with a better twist. Seems the owners of Spark's Steakhouse in Colorado got hit with a lawsuit by Sparks Steak House in NYC ordering them to change their name or else.

Rather than pay the court fees, the guys in Colorado agreed to change their name. The Denver Post explains: "But they'll have some fun doing it by holding a name-that-restaurant contest with the winner getting airfare to New York City and a $200 tab at, yep, Sparks Steakhouse."
