Initial Post

A famous New York City hotel, Hotel Lux, is noted for its food as well as luxury accommodations. Hotel Lux hired a famous chef, Chef Perlee to become its head chef for $$30,000$ per month. The contract stated that should Chef Perlee leave the employment of Hotel Lux for any reason, he would not work as a chef for any hotel or restaurant in New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania for a period of one year. After six months, a dispute arose between Hotel Lux and Chef Perlee, and Chef Perlee quits. One month later, Chef Perlee is hired by a famous New Jersey restaurant just across the New York state line. Hotel Lux learns of Chef Perlee's employment through an advertisement in a New York City newspaper. Hotel Lux files a lawsuit seeking to enjoin $($prevent$)$ Chef Perlee from working in that restaurant for one year.
