Splashy . . . Tojo Hidekazu, who took home the bronze medal at the Gold Medal Plates competition at the Hyatt this week (behind Rob Clark and Pino Posteraro), announced that he’s moving premises mid-January four blocks west–near Alder. It will be a 185-seater with a Morimoto-like tab approaching $7 million – a budget that will only be outdone by David Aisenstat’s (Hy’s and the Keg) new fusion entry in the podium of the Shangri-La .
West 4th’s Gastropod is getting ready to fire burners; the finishing touches are just being applied – it’s a gorgeous small room that will add weight to the eastern end of Kits Village. 1938 West 4th Avenue | Vancouver
