About the Business

Planning for kann started in 2018. America got a first taste during an episode of Top Chef All-Stars LA, Season 17, in which Chef Gregory competed. The pop-up was praised by the judges and won the show's famed "Restaurant Wars" challenge.

In August 2020, mid-pandemic, the kann pop-up made its first debut in Portland, OR. For two sold-out nights local guests were first to get a taste of kann at wood-fired restaurant Mama Bird in NW Portland.

In December 2020, at the height of the pandemic and in partnership with American Express and Resy as part of their Yurt Villages program, The Redd on Salmon, an 8000 square foot historic foundry in SE Portland was transformed into kann Winter Village -- a COVID-safe, outdoor-fine-dining, winter wonderland experience in heated yurts. A six-course tasting menu was offered -- complete with wine, beer, or zero-proof pairings. The Kann Winter Village ran through April 2021.

Established in 2022.

Business Owner

Gregory G. (Business Owner)

Haitian cuisine meets Pacific Northwest bounty at kann, a live-fire restaurant from 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. That memory and more are the inspiration behind the menu that showcases traditional Haitian flavors along with new dishes inspired by the cuisines of the African, Caribbean and Southeast Asian diaspora. Barbeque originated in Haiti and that spirit of open fire cooking helps anchor the cuisine at kann.
