One of Portland's top restaurants named to 50 Best North America list
Kann, led by chef Gregory Gourdet, earned the 27th spot on the first World’s 50 Best North America list, recognized for its wood-fired Haitian cuisine and influence on American dining.
- On Thursday night, Kann, the wood-fired Haitian restaurant from Portland chef Gregory Gourdet, was named the 27th best restaurant in North America at the inaugural World’s 50 Best North America ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada.
- Kann's rise follows recognition from Resy and Eater, and its wood-fired Haitian menu by Gregory Gourdet emphasizes dairy- and gluten-free dishes in Portland, Oregon.
- Organizers say the voting is conducted by a 300-member Academy whose confidential votes require each member to pick eight restaurants, and chefs and restaurant owners are told in advance but not their ranking.
- Kann's inclusion marks Oregon's lone representative on the list, boosting its profile and driving international tourism through the World’s 50 Best North America recognition.
- The inaugural list excludes Mexico while covering the U.S., Canada and parts of the Caribbean, with Atomix crowned No.1 and New York City supplying 12 other restaurants.
