Another Closure

The New York Times published a list of restaurants nationwide that had closed because of Covid-19 closures. The list was, naturally, East Coast-centric until the last few entries. The one that really hurt was Pok Pok. We made that restaurant a regular stop on our trips to Portland. We even went to their outpost in Las Vegas. All of the branches, alas, are no mas. Andy Ricker, the owner, has moved to Thailand. I plan on making a variation of Pok Pok’s chicken wings in its memory in the next few days.
