RATF Classic: #94 Earl Ninsom - PaaDee, Langbaan
/This classic episode of Right at the Fork comes from late summer 2016 and our conversation with Earl Ninsom.
A lot has changed for Earl since this interview, including most recently, his restaurant Langbaan being named the Outstanding Restaurant in the 2024 James Beard Awards.
ORIGINAL POST:
Earl Ninsom opened PaaDee to find his passion. Then he took that to another step with one of Portland's most lauded restaurants, Langbaan. Now he's hoping others realize their dreams with Hat Yai and Kim Jing Smokehouse. We talked to Earl about his trajectory and place in Portland's food world.
