The downtown mall at 7th Street and Figueroa is reopening in the fall after a $40-million revamp by Brookfield Office Properties. And included in its makeover as Figat7th (formerly 7+Fig), which will be anchored by a new Target concept store, is a 25,000-square-foot chef-driven food court called Taste. The lineup includes Loteria Grill and an offshoot of Park’s Barbeque.

Brookfield announced the first round of restaurants that will make up Taste. Paul Shoemaker, a Bastide alumnus who is chef at Savory in Malibu, is opening Juicy Lucy, named after his signature cheeseburger at Savory. Jimmy Shaw is bringing to Figat7th his latest Loteria Grill, his growing chain of regional Mexican restaurants, adding tortas to the menu for the downtown location.
