Matt Blondin, the ambitious Toronto chef that came up through Colborne Lane’s modernist kitchen before opening Acadia in 2011, is leaving his most recent post as Daishōs executive sous-chef. Blondin has bounced from one acclaimed restaurant to the next in recent years, leaving Acadia after a little more than a year and Daishō after an even shorter stint. Interestingly, his departure follows Patrick Kriss’s sudden exit from Acadia last week. Perhaps he’s eyeing his old gig?
