Pudong to Open in the Former Mecca Space By December

We caught wind of the change of ownership back in April, and now the Scoop is reporting that the new concept for the former Mecca space (2029 Market) is Chinese, and it’s called Pudong. They’ve hired chef Jason Xu, formerly of Shanghai 1930, and the menu’s going to focus on the cuisine of Shanghai, which bears a few hints of French influence from the long-ago French presence in the country. But “they are very adamant that Pudong will not be fusion cooking, or any type of fusion.” The space is getting a remodel, complete with new marble and stone floor, and they’re aiming for a December 1 opening.
