Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is all heated up over Salut Bar Americain in Edina. He claims the name is too close to that of his New York restaurant Bar Americain. The restaurateur and host of the Food Network's "Boy Meets Grill" is trying to stop parent company Parasole Restaurant Holdings from using Bar Americain.
Good luck on that one, says partner Phil Roberts. Bar Americain is a French phrase (meaning a place that has a full bar) and therefore up for grabs. "It's like using cafe or trattoria," says Roberts, whose company also runs
Muffuletta in St. Paul,
Figlio, Chino Latino and
Manny's Steakhouse (Minneapolis). "You can't trademark that."
