Don Letendre, the executive chef at Opus, has given the boutique Yaletown hotel his notice after nine years of service. His last day is April 15th, but he will be participating in functions throughout the rest of the month and into May. He has no targeted destination at the time of writing – “I am not sure of my direction at the moment, if I go somewhere parallel, stay corporate, go into partnership, do something on my own?” he says – so it looks like we have yet another talented free agent on the market. Letendre’s a genuine gent, and we wish him the absolute best in whatever comes next for him.
