Gusto 101 (@ 101 Portland St) is opening up a second location here. It will be known as Gusto 501. Only 3 more to go!

Amazing! You'd have to ask people I know that I told since I didn't write it down anywhere, but that's exactly what I had guessed it might be, right down to the name! Looking forward to it.

Such a great addition to the area, especially as more people move in the surrounding condos Distillery, WDL, and Regent). Thanks for sharing this info

Overrated as hell! I have eaten there twice, and my sense is that it is more about marketing than food. No-expense is spared on the decor; however, the food is mediocre.

But still a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

I actually quite like it. I've enjoyed the food and the atmosphere over the course of several visits.

1-storey former photography studio on a sad stretch of King St E to gain three storeys and become Gusto 501.

Existing building:

Proposed design by Partisans:

Cladding is expanded metal -- very weird, but cool.

Love the texture - and the expectation of getting graffitied along the laneway.

This proposal was actually discussed in the Corktown thread in early/mid 2015. There was an article (May 2015) about Gusto at http://business.financialpost.com/e...-l-a-miami-to-grow-with-gusto?__lsa=3d11-cf77 I fear the idea is dead.

No question this one has been moving slowly -- the article I linked above is from 2014. But the latest plans were submitted to the city at the end of October, so there is definitely some movement on this one.
