Chilango's name has changed

What's in a name? A potential legal problem for hot restaurateur Jose Garces.

Garces, boss of Amada and Tinto, went back to the drawing board on the name of his Mexican restaurant planned for The Hub near 40th and Chestnut Streets this June. "Chilango" -- he learned -- was taken. (A Chilango is someone who lives in the Mexico City area; since the restaurant's theme is Mexico City, it seemed fitting.)

The new name is Distrito Federal, as in "federal district." Mexico City is properly "Mexico D.F."
