"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
"A restrained, ‘grandma chic’ tasting-menu restaurant that emphasizes whole animals from local farms and wild-foraged ingredients; dishes are simply plated on vintage china in a minimalist dining room and include standouts like a crispy, rosy duck breast presented with herbs and a glossy sauce. The overall experience is quietly beautiful and worth the trip for its seasonal, thoughtful compositions." - Becky Duffett
"A small, elegant St. Paul restaurant offering both à la carte and curated tasting menus that emphasize farm-driven ingredients and nods to the chef’s Swedish immigrant heritage." - AFAR
