Le Cirque owner Sirio Maccioni, who's been known to lash out at critics by publicly trashing their "ugly" wives, has agita all over again. The cause this time is a perceived betrayal by interior designer and architect Adam Tihany, who did Le Cirque's current home. His crime? Taking a job redesigning Daniel, which is located in the original Le Cirque space and operated by French chef Daniel Boulud, who ran Le Cirque's kitchen until an acrimonious meltdown with Maccioni. Now Maccioni "seethes" in a great stream-of-consciousness rant to Gael Greene that "Adam Tihany will never do anything for me again. I should have 10% cent of everything Adam earns. I should have 5% from everyone who copies the crème brulee—I would be rich. And the bass with potatoes that everyone copies. People stop now to work for the glory and just work for the money. People tell me Le Cirque should do pizza delivery and crème brulée delivery. I’m a single person. I’m a family." If Sirio seems a little confused, it's probably just because he's preoccupied with the impending truffle season.

I must say this about the Europeans in NYC, they're not only rude, they're nasty.
Was that politically incorrect?
Well, I can see how that -- huh???
"And the bass with potatoes that everyone copies"
Uhhh.... Sirio. Daniel Buloud created that dish. OK, he was cooking for you at the original Le Cirque, but it was he who created it. Your signing his paycheck does not make it your dish.
Tihany also designed the former Le Cirque that failed. I first met him when he was designing a cheese steak shop on Broadway. I guess his client base has improved since then.
But come on Sirio Maccioni, let the guy try to make a living designing other restaurants. It's not like your going to get the same people coming back to eat at your restaurant everyday. And I doubt that you invented fish and chips (you call it bass with potatoes) I believe it was Arthur Treacher.
