It’s curtains for Hudson Kitchen

It’s a wrap for a Dundas West restaurant that made quite the entrance into Toronto’s dining scene. The first guests to sample chef Robbie Hojilla’s contemporary American cuisine at Hudson Kitchen were part of a TIFF 2013 crowd that included a handful of A-list celebrities. The restaurant made its closing announcement yesterday over Twitter. Since then, a representative of the Mint Agency has reached out on Hudson Kitchen’s behalf to confirm the news and explain that the restaurant closed for financial reasons. Hudson Kitchen’s fate resembles those of previous occupants at the unlucky address, including the Palmerston Café and Jamie Kennedy’s Provenance Regional Cuisine. Fans of Hojilla’s broccoli salad will now have to look elsewhere to get their inventive greens.
