You may have heard of Andy Ricker before. Perhaps it was through his VICE documentary FARANG? Or maybe you\\u2019ve seen him featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives or cruising around the Chiang Mai, Thailand with Bourdain on Parts Unknown. Or maybe \\u2013 more simply \\u2013 you just know him has \\u201cthat white guy that makes awesome Thai food\\u201d and sits at the helm of the Pok Pok empire. From his traveling the world to falling in love with Northern Thai cuisine, Andy takes us through his journey to starting his successful restaurants that now span both Portland and New York City.

And there was probably no more appropriate time to feature Andy on the Pubcast. Right on the heels of the release of his 2nd cookbook The Drinking Food of Thailand, Andy continues to enhance and share his craft and passion for Thai cuisine in its truest form, and this time around, he focuses on the snacky foods that pair well with a night of drinking in Thailand.\\xa0

We met at Reel M Inn in Andy\\u2019s home base of Portland, OR for this episode. A dive through-and-through, at Reel M Inn you can expect low ceilings, a loud jukebox, an unpretentious vibe, and \\u2013 most importantly \\u2013 their famous fried \\u201cChicken and JoJo\\u2019s.\\u201d
