After years of uncertainty, the iconic Gladstones seafood restaurant on Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu could be replaced with a new beachfront dining complex designed by Frank Gehry and operated by Wolfgang Puck.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors cleared the way Tuesday for the Department of Beaches and Harbors to begin negotiations with Puck and his team over development of two new restaurants at the site.

A proposal submitted by Frank Gehry and celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck was selected for the redevelopment of the iconic Gladstones site. While the lengthy negotiations process is barely starting, some were critical about the Department of Beaches and Harbors' selection process. Nicholas Buford and Gregory Plummer — of the Crews food and beverage company and whose proposal came in second — accused the department of favoritism, LA Times reports. Gladstones will operate for at least another two years.

What a pile of shit. It DOES accurately represent the food of Wolfgang Puck though.
Perfectly good design for Gladstones which currently a haphazardly put together pile of greasy bad sea food and buildings of a tourist trap. Looks like Gehry is turning it to a better designed fishermen's wharf for more greasy tourists and more of a sea food trap. What do you expect? He is delivering exactly what it could be.
So now it is Gladstone's fault for FOGAs dumpster fire?
you call it dumpster fire, i don't. and you still didn't qualify why it's a "pile of shit." why is it that?
