Housecleaning at the Pinnacle

[Lizzy NYC]

Did you hear the news about the mass-clean out by the owners of the Marriot (formerly Delta) Pinnacle?

Gone are the Exec. Chef, Chef Concierge and Purchaser to name only a few.

Any details?

Is that why they have stopped advertising the curry of the day at Showcase? The curries were good - and as I have said - they should have done take out. Too Bad.

The should remodel Showcase - it is truly one of the ugliest spots ever. Whenever I walk by it - the theme music for Expo 86 starts playing in my head.

Lizzy - is there a Vancouver trade magazine that would carry this sort of story that might verify the facts? If so, a link would be much appreciated. A change of ownership of a hotel or restaurant can often spark staff changes, especially in kitchens. And if a head chef resigns, then his brigade will often follow. Could that be the case here?

In light of this thread, I would ask that all members review eGullet's Defamation Policy which states that "What you post on eGullet.com must be true to the best of your knowledge. If you make factual statements, you represent that you have confirmed their truth."

It's a very questionable location for a fine dining restaurant. Is Artiggiano still in the building? That's got to hurt their casual trade.

artigiano is across the street from there and on pender whereas the door of showcase is (was) basically on hastings

Artigiano is in the same building just on the south west corner. I seem to recall.

All true on the purge - got confirmation from someone who was part of the group let go - no notice - very sudden - too bad!

We're still there, and it hasn't hurt us. I even got called in yesterday - my day off - to make coffees for a few hours.
