New Orleans bar lobs ‘Hand Grenade’ suit at Wilmington establishment
WILMINGTON, NC (StarNews)– A New Orleans-based bar says the Cajun-themed Bourbon Street restaurant and bar in downtown Wilmington is purchasing and reselling its famed cocktail.
Walk through the French Quarter in New Orleans and one drink noticeably stands out — tourists toting an elongated, neon-green plastic cup with a sugary alcoholic beverage inside called the Hand Grenade.
The bar that has sold the famous drinks since 1987, Tropical Isle, filed suit this month against Bourbon Street Wilmington, alleging the restaurant was profiting from the trademarked drink by selling them in Wilmington.
