[edit] Lahaina, Hawaii
A restaurant chain named Cheeseburger Restaurants based in Portola, California has one of their restaurants located in oceanfront Lahaina, Hawaii also named "Cheeseburger in Paradise." This chain which began there in 1989 has no relation to Jimmy Buffett's business. Buffett sued the owners in 1997. After a four-year legal battle, a settlement was reached that allowed Laren Gartner and Edna Bayliff to keep the moniker at their existing restaurants in Lahaina and Waikiki, but prevented them from using the name on any additional locations.[1]
