Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck has been sued over his attempt to develop the .food domain in cyberspace.

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."

Oscar night with Spago's smoked salmon pizza

The Academy Awards are just three days away, and I'm sure a number of you are hosting Oscar parties. If nothing else, it gives you good reason to get friends and family together to enjoy some delicious food and drinks - what could be better than that? Over the next few days we're going to take a look at some dishes that you may be able to serve to your guests, Oscar-style, while waiting to find out who wins Best Picture.

I came across this article written by Wolfgang Puck, world-class chef and owner of Spago's plus many other restaurants around the country. Since he has been serving up dishes to the stars since the 1970's (at his restaurants, as well as at the award shows themselves), I decided there was no better way to kick start our own little Oscar party than by spotlighting one of his recipes.

Ultimate southern California food/wine road trip - LA

los angeles road trip

In the April 2006 issue of Food & Wine magazine, Kate Krader outlines a week-long road trip she did around southern California, starting in LA, through Santa Barbara, with a quickie side trip to San Diego. While she does dine at some top-notch spots like Spago and Providence in Los Angeles, it's not all about high-end dining. A recap of her whirlwind food and wine tour through La La Land:

  • An LA institution, Pacific Dining Car (that just went to 24-hours), for dry aged beef
  • Norman's on Sunset for their Friday night whole roast pig
  • The Regent Beverly Wilshire's new restaurant, The Blvd
  • Providence for fish, obviously
  • Dinner at Sona
  • Late night at the Hungry Cat in Hollywood
  • Old school Greenblatt's Deli that has a remarkable wine list
  • Sushi at Shibucho, where Bordeaux and Burgundies are better than sake and beer
  • Silverlake Wine for the Monday night tasting event
  • The Lodge Steakhouse
  • Spago, which she says is her favorite place

Tip of the Day
