There’s a restaurant in Gloucester that does this great queso dip created by a guy called Gary. The dip is called Gary’s Dip. Gary left to work at another place in town, and the new place started selling the same dip. They call it Not Gary’s Dip. I think about this situation (and the dip) a lot
Ooh. Love me some queso but I think the crappier the cheese is, the more I like it. I think they're serving me melted Velveeta in the US, and I am tossing it back like it's my last meal. 🙃
In my home town we had Dewey's Pizza and Dewey's Other Place, selling hot dogs and wings and other non-pizza stuff. Dewey's Pizza closed, and for like 5 years Dewey's Other Place stood alone.
There’s a similar story about who gets to claim the original Chicago style pizza.
Hopefully Gary’s contract allows him to retain ownership of the Gary’s dip intellectual property.
