Call it a legal game of chicken. A former employee of a Greenwich restaurant has been sued by his former boss, with the dispute focusing on, among other things, the names of menu items.

Now Carpenteri has filed a federal intellectual property suit against his former employee, claiming that the menu items at the Storrs deli are too much like those at Garden Catering.
