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.
