Matt Blondin is no longer at Momofuku Daishō
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 Daishō’s 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?

Stop sensationalizing, who cares what this guy does. He is just a cook.
You’re an idiot:
1) This has been filed under “The Dish,” which is a food blog – I’d think this is a highly relevant piece of news. If you say he’s “just a cook”, you clearly don’t care about food or Toronto’s restaurant scene, so why are reading it?
2) I’d say the article is pretty unsensational.
wow.. maby if you spent a 1/3 of the hours this guy has put into a kitchen understanding what being a chef is you wouldn’t be sitting at home being a keyboard warrior.
