"Perhaps the biggest fireworks come with the news that Chef Kari’s Hayward, in McMinnville’s Mac Market, is nominated for Best New Restaurant. This is huge for the chef that just opened her first restaurant under her own name in 2023, which, not to mention, was supposed to be a casual breakfast café inside a marketplace, not necessarily one of the 10 best new full-service restaurants in the country that it’s gracefully become."

“At Hayward, Chef Kari is growing her reputation for ambitious ‘new Northwest’ cuisine. On a recent visit, she served chilled coast mussels in horseradish and seaweed dulse, celestial headcheese panisse with fermented leeks, and a steak tartare dish built to look like a little cheeseburger, topped by a brioche cracker ‘bun.’”

“Chef Kari Shaughnessy’s restaurant, within the converted warehouse space of Mac Market, is industrial yet polished, a fitting home to showcase the global flavors, hyper-local sourcing, and ambitious cooking that made Hayward a James Beard Award semifinalist for Best New Restaurant (that’s right, in the whole country). Expect an eclectic menu of dishes such as sesame focaccia, pork katsu, and panzanella.”
