Joined today by 2 time James Beard award winning chef, the O.G. of Thai cooking, Andy Ricker. Andy and I talk about his recent marriage; how he proposed and he gives us an update on being a cat dad. We talk about his new book in the pok pok trilogy called POK POK NOODLES. He describes how much work goes into creating a cookbook, how he measures success of it and how his go to Thai his go to Thai recipes are. Andy and I talk about the challenges of opening a restaurant, how Pok Pok in Vegas is doing and what he thinks about yelp reviews. From pop-up mashups to food suggestions when visiting Thailand, Andy Ricker once again crushes it!  check out Andy on the following sites:Twitter: https://twitter.com/pawkhruaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pawkhrua/Link for all of Andy’s books, including “POK POK NOODLES” https://www.amazon.com/POK-Noodles-Recipes-Thailand-Beyond/dp/1607747758Restaurants: https://pokpokrestaurants.com/
