How cool it is to have Gregory Gourdet on the show. Gregory is a chef and cookbook author based in Portland, Oregon. Many of you may know Gregory from his memorable appearances on Top Chef—as both a contestant and a judge. In this lively conversation, we discuss his ambitious new restaurant in Portland, Kann, his '90s raver past, and vintage Nike fits in the Kann dining room. We also talk about his plans for bringing the spotlight to Haitian cuisine, as well as living a fulfilled life of sobriety.More from Gregory Gourdet: Gregory Gourdet Is Ready to Define Dining His Way [Resy]Watermelon-Berry Salad with Chile Dressing [gregorygourdet.com]Buy: Everyone's Table: Global Recipes for Modern Health
