#289 Andrew Fortgang - Flor, Le Pigeon & Canard
/After announcing the scheduled opening of his new retail wine shop, we caught up with Andy Fortgang, known to many as the business brains behind Portland's storied Le Pigeon and sister restaurant/bar Canard, which Andy owns with Chef Gabriel Rucker.
We discuss Andy's new project, Flor, and the genesis behind it, as well as the severe challenges of owning two restaurants through the recent pandemic. Andy tells us what the current operating situation is at both restaurants. This is a must-listen, since Andy will be expanding his horizons from and in addition to two of the most important restaurants in Portland.
