Rusty Updegraff (the guy behind departed hot spot 360) is one of the partners in a new Latin fusion restaurant opening mid-December in West Hollywood, in the old Kachina Grill space at Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards. Gozar, which Updegraff says means "enjoy" or "have fun," will offer specialties from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Spain. Richard Hyman, chef at Border Grill Pasadena, will helm the kitchen.
