OTTAWA - Talk about a lewd food fight.

A local restaurateur went on trial Monday on charges she sent lewd e-mails and set up a fake dating site profile targeting a customer who posted negative reviews online.

Marisol Simoes, 41, co-owner of Mambo and Kinki restaurants, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of the rarely laid charge of defamatory libel.

"I am open to anything - couples, threesomes and group sex," read the e-mail, purportedly signed by former customer Elayna Katz and sent to the CEO and 75-member board of the Canadian Federation of Municipalities, where Katz works in human resources.

"Am especially into transsexuals and transgenders (being one myself). I am a handful in many ways and am a tiger in the bedroom."
