#69 Cana Flug - Besaw's, Wildwood & The Solo Club

Cana Flug had quite a journey in the Portland restaurant world since her last appearance on Right at the Fork.  Weeks after the show was recorded, Wildwood, one of Portland's best known restaurants, which had touched the careers of many chefs, closed suddenly after lease negotiations failed.   About a year later, Flug's other restaurant, Besaw's, Portland's oldest restaurant, became embroiled in controversy when the owner of the building claimed he owned the rights to the Besaw's name. Flug talks candidly about those newsworthy controversies, and also the reopening of Besaw's and The Solo Club.
