2025 James Beard Award Semifinalist
Best Chef Northwest
We are excited to announce that Chef Kari Shaughnessy has been named a semifinalist for 2025 James Beard’s Best Chef Northwest. It is our honor and privilege to watch as she continuously pushes the boundaries of zero-waste and hyper-local cooking.
“Chef Kari cooks how she eats, which is to say that no matter what’s on the plate, expect it to contain layers of textures and unexpected flavors set off against bright hits of acid and a shower of fresh herbs. She takes full advantage of her location in the heart of the Willamette Valley, creating seasonal menus bursting with creative takes on local veg.”
