581 Mt. Pleasant
Ku-kum, the Indigenous restaurant known and frequently attacked for serving seal tartare, has been closed because of $20,000 in outstanding rent. Ku-kum’s somewhat obscure signage at 581 Mt. Pleasant Rd. did not prevent the restaurant and its owner, Joseph Shawana, from being dragged into a campaign against such dishes and “colonial” non-Indigenous diners generally.
