This is surprising news.  I thought Gushue was planning to open a pizza place at Catalyst 137.  On the upside, I've always wanted to stay at the Fogo Island Inn.  But I think I'll have to set up an account with GoFundMe first. 

It will be interesting to see what changes he brings to the menu.  I confess that I never warmed to Gushue's offerings.

Berlin seems to be inconsistent. Perhaps I never ate there while the chef was working but that should not matter at this level.

OK, so I wasn't the only one.  Nice, but not really special from my point of view.

Wendy's on Westmount and Victoria and the Wendy's at Fisher-Hallman and Ottawa are both closed for Major renovations. The location on Westmount looks fairly close to being done, I don't know about the progress of the Fisher-Hallman/Ottawa location since I haven't been in that area for over a week.Also the Harvey's on Westmount near Highland had just finished a major interior renovation it looks like a brand new restaurant now.

Also the locations  at King/Conestogo and King/Tu-Lane. It looks like they are doing them all in KW except for Weber/University.
The one by Conestoga Mall is almost complete.

Wow! That's odd I'm surprised there doing that many locations at the same time. I feel bad for the employee's because I doubt that they were all temporarily transferred to Weber/University.

I'M surprised the Weber / University one wasn't the first to be redone, considering their booths are shaped like swastikas

I wouldn't be surprised if Weber/University was torn down and rebuilt to the standard building design. It's a massive space that's not all that efficiently used. And the swastika booth thing.

Ummm, I would hope that they would not make a point of avoiding the arrangement of booths to which you refer. First of all, they only look like swastikas from above; but more importantly, they are not and do not suggest Nazi symbology. Even if you look at a plan of one of those booths, the proportions are all wrong. You’d probably be shot for mocking Nazism if you showed up at a Nazi rally with that shape on your sleeve…

There is such a thing as being too zealous in even the best cause, and it’s hard to imagine a better cause than the destruction of Nazism.

Noticed that Symposium is opening a second location in the spring at Erb/Erbsville in the same plaza as Canadian Tire.

I don't know about the other Wendy's Locations but the Wendy's on Westmount/Victoria has been re-opened for over a week. It looks like a completely different restaurant now.

King/Tulane was still closed on the weekend, but it looks like it's coming along well.

The Conestoga Mall location is open again too.

Wasn't sure if here or made in Waterloo Region was a better spot but an article on KW Craft Cider.
