No, I’m not kidding. A James Bond-themed restaurant called Shaken Not Stirred is opening in what used to be the Plan B location in Yaletown. I shit you not, the slogan is “Food To Die For”. A tipster took the above photo of the sad-looking, circa Moonraker window sign and sent it over last night (thank you). The former owner, Glenn Cormier, confirmed the sale to me this morning after another tipster pointed me towards a craigslist ad looking for new hires and another quoted the owner saying: “It’s going to be like Joe Fortes, The Cactus Club, and Earls all together”. God help us all.
It opens this Wednesday at 1144 Homer Street. No word yet as to when it will close…

Is it too ambitious and generous to say “I give it a week” ?
Yeah, talk about stillborn. Let the “Plan C” jokes begin!
The douche who loved me?
Doesn’t that sign actually say “Shakin'” not “Shaken”? Even worse…
Amazing… Sounds like a themed cafeteria at Universal Studios, but without the ambience.
collossal lack of foresight, rampant ego and i’m assuming deep pockets combine to spawn what will surely be the city’s most dismal failure. reeks of “space lounge”. 🙂
