Gregory Gourdet is an award-winning chef, writer, restaurateur, best-selling author, and television personality. He shares his journey- from pre-med at NYU to studying wildlife biology at University of Montana- and how it led him to Portland, a place where he found sobriety and community. Gregory shares the philosophy behind his acclaimed Portland restaurant, kann, where he infuses Haitian and West African flavors into seasonal dishes. He also discusses his commitment to giving back, from his involvement with Ben’s Friends and Urban Gleaners to his coffee company, Kann Coffee, which supports local Haitian farmers and celebrates one of the country’s essential exports.
