Overview

Haitian cuisine meets Pacific Northwest bounty at Kann, a live-fire restaurant by James Beard Award-winning chef Gregory Gourdet. The restaurant honors his heritage and culture while also honoring the seasons and local ingredients of Oregon. The name Kann ("cane" in Haitian Creole) is a tribute to one of Chef Gregory's favorite childhood memories in Haiti, where he'd listen for sugar cane vendors to come by with wheelbarrows overflowing with the freshly-harvested snack. Barbecue originated in Haiti, and that spirit of open-fire cooking helps anchor the cuisine at Kann. By: Top Chef alum Gregory Gourdet
