Hot off the Portland takeover that was the James Beard Awards nominee announcements, Jennifer Fields of the Examiner asks Andy Ricker to talk about Pok Pok and Ping. Highlights include his lists of where he eats--Ha&VL for breakfast; Olympic Provisions; Toro Bravo; Lucky Strike--and what's in his fridge--"a jar of shrimp paste." Otherwise, he describes his passion for Southeast Asian food and reminds everyone, via biographical information vis a vis working for Chris Israel at Zefiro in the 90's, of how connected everything and everyone in this town truly is.
