1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 We are thrilled to have two of the legends of the current Portland dining scene on the podcast with us, Jackie and Adam Sappington.&amp;nbsp; Back in 2007, they left Wildwood to create The Country Cat, which was one of the staples of Portland's restaurant heyday.&amp;nbsp; They eventually opened The Country Cat at the airport, pioneering the idea that a great local restaurant could succeed serving people coming and going from PDX in a very special way. &amp;nbsp; 8 years ago, the Sappingtons bought Harlow restaurant, a plant-based restaurant.&amp;nbsp; So interested that Adam, who was such a down home Ozark born country boy, would move from so much meat to&amp;nbsp;a plant-based restaurant.&amp;nbsp; In this interview, we talk about why they did that, personally and professionally, and what it's meant for them since. &amp;nbsp; Part 2 of this interview will stream starting next week, where we will talk a little more about airport hospitaility, and then get into being parents of one of the best college footaball players in the country as a Duck at the University of Oregon, as their son Atticus readies for the NFL draft.&amp;nbsp; Stay tuned!!! &amp;nbsp; @harlowpdx harlowpdx.com thecountrycat.net &amp;nbsp; Right at the Fork is made possible by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com&amp;nbsp; RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com&amp;nbsp; Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com&amp;nbsp; Right At The Fork http://www.RightAtTheFork.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40336520/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/580a9d/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/199305220
