Poke, the trendiest food coming from Hawaii, travels to the mainland and finally arrives in Fargo, North Dakota. In this humorous talk, restauranteur Thamrong Dechawuth gives a few reasons why everyone should be eating poke. Thamrong (Keng) Dechawuth is a restauranteur. He was born and raised in Chiangmai Thailand.

He received a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California in 2000.

He has been involved in restaurant businesses since 2006, and has opened more than ten restaurants in North Dakota, Minnesota, California, and Georgia. He likes traveling and learning cultures through diversities of food. One of his favorite places is Hawaii, where he visits almost every year and fell in love with local food “Poke.” In the summer of 2017, he started a poke food truck and plans to open the poke restaurant shortly after. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
