CULINARY DIRECTOR
CHEF GREGORY GOURDET
Gourdet is a celebrated chef, best-selling author, and television personality best known for his award-winning cuisine, numerous TV appearances, and trendsetting role in Portland's culinary boom. In his role as Culinary Director of Printemps New York, Gourdet will oversee five concepts, ranging from fine dining to a casual cafe—each a celebration of artistry, unparalleled quality, innovation, culture, and creativity.
A New York City native, Gourdet studied at the Culinary Institute of America and began his career with legendary chef Jean-Georges Vongrichten. During his seven-year tenure, Gourdet honed his culinary skills at three of Vongrichten’s trailblazing restaurants and climbed the ranks to become one of his chefs de cuisines before moving to Portland, Oregon. There, he helped pioneer the city’s culinary boom with his unique approach, applying global influences and cooking techniques to seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. His acclaimed and highly celebrated restaurant, Kann, showcases the natural bounty of the Pacific Northwest through the culinary lens of his ancestral homeland, Haiti, with nods to the cuisines that have inspired him throughout his career.
In 2023 Kann was named Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation and its subterranean bar, Sousòl, was named a “Best Bar in America 2023” by Esquire magazine. He was named “Chef of the Year” by Eater Portland and the Oregon Department of Agriculture and is a two-time Bravo Top Chef finalist.
Gregory sees food as nourishment and is committed to moving the restaurant industry forward sustainably and equitably. He is a member of the US State Department’s American Culinary Corp and an ambassador for the Marine Stewardship Council.
