Put this one on your one to watch for list: Published, a modern west coast restaurant, is set to open this November on Main Street in Vancouver.
Currently in the hiring and menu refinement stages, Published says they hope "to be one of the premier dining destinations in Vancouver while maintaining a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere."

Situated at 3593 Main Street in a two-level space, the dining room clocks in at just over 2,100 square feet, with a downstairs kitchen and commissary space. The restaurant is able to hold 100+ seats in the spacious corner unit at Main and 20th in the South Main retail district.

In the kitchen is chef Gus Brandson, who Published says "will be focusing on innovation and creativity to develop a constantly evolving menu."
Brandson, whose IG account is @muchogustos, has teased a few dishes in development, such as Beef Shank Broth with Bone Marrow Semolina Dumplings; Roasted Salsify with Mornay and Chicken Drippings; and Soft-Poached Egg Roasted Maitake, Pickled Enoki, Kelp Vinaigrette, and Thyme Funnel Cake.

When it comes to ingredients, like the Maitake mushrooms in that poached egg dish, Brandson calls himself a "mycophile," which means a devotee of mushrooms. Published notes that their food "will be focused on a contemporary west coast style with a strong influence on locally sourced and foraged ingredients," which definitely means lots of beautiful B.C. mushrooms for Brandson to play with.
Published is aiming for a November open, and you can keep up with their progress at @published.on.main on Instagram.
