6. Ken Forkish: From 20 Years in Corporate America to Award-Winning Cookbook Author, Restauranteur, and One Of The Most Consulted Bakers In The U.S.
Today we know Ken Forkish as the James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and restauranteur of several iconic Portland restaurants, but it wasn’t always that way. After dreaming of breaking free from his career in corporate America, Forkish opened his now-beloved bakery in Portland, Ken's Artisan Bakery in 2001. Ken lost over $70,000 in that first year but thankfully after two years of building his dream, Ken knew that he was going to make it.
Between the bakery, his pizzeria (Ken's Artisan Pizza), and his three inspiring and thorough cookbooks focused on bread and pizza, we cover it all in this episode from business ventures to recipe development to favorite restaurants of Ken's.
