Mika built her career in some of Portland’s most influential kitchens, including co-founding BEAST with Naomi Pomeroy in 2007, which became one of the West Coast’s most iconic restaurants of its era. After years of travel and culinary projects, she reunited with Naomi to develop Cornet Custard, opening the shop in 2024. Following Naomi’s passing, Mika continued to grow Cornet before joining L’Echelle as executive chef. Known for her collaborative leadership and commitment to local farmers and producers, Mika brings a grounded, thoughtful approach to French bistro cooking, centered on quality ingredients, strong relationships, and the simple joy of feeding people.
Join Mika for a return to the basics of French technique and classic knife cuts, with a focus on making the most of every ingredient, from scraps for stocks and sauces to the foundations of a great braise. She’ll share an approachable, safety-first philosophy that puts confidence, care, and enjoyment ahead of perfect cuts.
