Plantation Chef Files Suit Against Smokey Robinson
The Advocate reports that Nottoway Plantation chef Johnny "Jambalaya" Percle has filed a suit against Motown singer Smokey Robinson for trade-name infringement. Percle, "who has served his fare to the likes of Pope John Paul II, Shaquille O'Neal, the rock band Kiss and two U.S. Supreme Court justices," alleges that Robinson's new food label slogan "The Soul is in the Bowl" violates his catch phrase--"Soul in Yo Bowl"--which he uses in his own food line.
