Minds+Machines, a company that had partnered with the Spago restaurant owner on the project, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court on Tuesday alleging breach of contract as well as tortious interference and fraud on the part of Puck's wife, Gelila. The suit demands $5 million from the Pucks.
Earlier this year, Wolfgang Puck and Gelila Puck had announced their partnership with the company to develop .food Internet addresses.
"This is a great way for the finest food enterprises to stand out from the crowd on the Internet," Puck said in June. "Owning a .FOOD address is like opening a business on the best street in any city in the world."
But things apparently devolved rapidly between the partners.
In the court filing, Minds+Machines allege that Puck's wife said she had top-level connections that would "result in additional top-level domain customers," but nothing panned out. The company said it had been courting big names to help them develop .fashion, .book and .music, among other domain names.
The documents also allege "Gelila Puck also spent Minds+Machines' money without permission."
The suit asks for a jury trial on the charges.

Puck should have thought this one through before getting involved with her. She's quickly tarnishing is reputation and good name. He should have stayed with Barbara!

I prepare food for celebs & follow my competitors closely. This sounds like a mis-understanding or gold diggers to me...Chef Alfred Schrader

Wolf is what is possible if we have a dream in this country. He is rich and connected in L.A. and uses it to build a bigger empire daily. So next week, I'll go to Spago's, have a nice meal, toast his success and hope that his marriage is successful.
