"A St. Paul, Minnesota restaurant represented by Karyn Tomlinson, the Best Chef: Midwest winner, who made a personal statement on the red carpet by wearing a pink dress her grandmother had worn in the 1940s when crowned 'dazzle corn queen.'" - Sam Nelson
"Led by chef Karyn Tomlinson, this St. Paul restaurant — opened in 2021 — earned national recognition when its chef won Best Chef: Midwest. The kitchen is known for a self-described “grandma cooking nouveau” approach that blends Scandinavian and Minnesotan heritage with French culinary training, emphasizes connections with local farmers, and expresses strong Midwest pride and identity." - Emily Venezky
"A Minneapolis restaurant mentioned for having its chef included among Best Chef: Midwest nominees." - Katherine Lawless
"Karyn Tomlinson’s Myriel — a name that nods to Les Miserables — is at once rustic and refined. Choose from the tasting menu or a la carte options: Both change often (sometimes daily) and are not available online, but expect dishes like Muscovy duck eggs, sausage with white bean ragout, and apple pies made with local ingredients. At the end of your meal, enjoy a Scandinavian-style egg coffee." - Eater Staff
"Karyn Tomlinson’s Myriel — a name that nods to Les Miserables — is at once rustic and refined. The a la carte menu isn’t available online because it changes often, but expect dishes like duck giblet jus over seared heirloom blue corn porridge and stewed wheat and radish greens in a French sorrel cream, for example. Tomlinson also makes a famous crust: If apple pie appears on the menu, order it without hesitation, and pair dessert with a Scandinavian egg coffee. Myriel’s interior, all European silhouettes and shades of cream and sand, is stunning." - Eater Staff
