Beloved plant-based fast-food concept By Chloe announced it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December. And while the company seems to have reached a sales agreement with a new owner, the burger chain will have to give up one crucial asset-its name.

According to Restaurant Business, By Chloe's parent company BC Hospitality Group has agreed to sell the chain to a group of investors for $333,000, who will buy the company's assets out of bankruptcy as well as assume liabilities. The deal is pending court approval.

However, a judge in a separate trademark hearing ruled that BC Hospitality doesn't have the right to sell By Chloe's name without agreement from its original founding chef Chloe Coscarelli, who the brand was named after.

Coscarelli has filed several lawsuits against one of the largest stakeholders ESquared since leaving the business in 2017, one of which was over the continuing use of her name. According to the Wall Street Journal, the brand's name itself is one of the most valuable assets of the bankruptcy estate.

Should the deal go forward, the new owners will have six months to come up with a new name for the vegan chain and to remove the By Chloe name from all "restaurants, supplies, digital media and all other assets," according to court documents.

In its bankruptcy filing, which cited the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the New York-based chain revealed that monthly revenue had decreased by 67% since February, forcing the closures of 3 of its 14 locations.

shape: By now, you're well aware that soda is, well, dangerous. It's the one drink you should simply refrain from drinking whenever you can. In fact, it just might be contributing to that soda belly of yours.In a study of about 1,000 adults over the course of six years, people who drank soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages gained an extra 1.8 pounds of visceral fat-the fat that sits inside your gut, damaging your internal organs and pushing your belly out. And visceral fat has been shown to increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, among other ills. Yikes.So why is soda so good at making us look bad? It's the sugar. The American Heart Association recommends women consume no more than 100 calories (25 grams or 6 teaspoons) per day on sugar and men no more than 150 calories (36 grams or 9 teaspoons) per day.This amount is about 20 grams less than the usual 45 grams of sugar found in many sodas and other sweetened beverages. And if it's not sugar, then it's artificial sweetener, which is 180 times sweeter than sugar and more damaging to your waistline.To help you make better choices, we've ranked the more than 100 of the most popular sodas. We look at calories, sodium, carbs, sugar and examined each can's ingredients and gave demerits to sodas with more chemicals and additives than those that were nutritionally similar.Click through to see where your favorite fizzy drinks fall in our best and worst sodas list, ranked from worst-to-best. (Although, "best" still doesn't mean healthy!) And if you're looking for other beverages to cut from your shopping list, check out the 50 Drinks With More Sugar Than a Hershey's Bar.
