Hongate 2010-11

If you are from or have any ties to Baltimore, you almost surely hold the word "hon" near and dear to your heart.  It has become a part of charm city's history and culture.  By now you've most likely heard that the owner of Cafe Hon, a landmark restaurant Hampden, has trademarked the word "hon".  What began as a strategy to protect a brand she claims to have built has turned into a scandalous "hontroversy" that has rocked Baltimoreans to their core.  Eliot Wagonheim gave Fox news his take on the matter December 10, 2010.  Almost a month later, "hongate" is still a hot topic. Eliot served as a guest on Midday with Dan Rodricks today to discuss whether or not the Hon trademark would survive the legal test.
