The Kit Kat Mystery Solved

I was eating at Central on Saturday night (I'm obsessed), and finally asked the waitress why they changed their best dessert on the menu from being called "Kit Kat Bar" to "Michel Richard's Chocolate Bar". Yes, some thugs from the Nestle corporation came in and slapped poor old Michel with an injunction.

Ok, really, what was Michel doing to Kit Kat that was SO bad except for VASTLY improving on their mediocre product. It wasn't like he was trying to package those up and ship them out (the malted ice cream would surely melt). Seems like maybe a bit of corporate protectionism gone awry. After all, I was not the only person who I heard asking about this, and to the last everyone who overheard expressed disgust with Nestle.

On another note, dinner was FANTASTIC. I had the tartare, followed by an excellent lemon chicken burger and most of a "Michel Richard Chocolate Bar." The sample I had of the spinach and goat cheese torte was really good, as was the Fried Chicken and Fish and Chips.
