Heyday brings a much-needed family-friendly restaurant serving solid comfort food to the Mount Baker neighborhood. Owned in part by Gary Snyder (whose Geraldine’s Counter is a fixture in Columbia City), and headed up by chef Melissa Nyffeler (of the late, great Dinette on Capitol Hill), Heyday is all about burgers, made from all kinds of protein: beef, pork, and shrimp (the Saigon burger); smoky lamb; jerk chicken; and beets, beans, mushrooms, and nuts (the house-made “beety bean”). Purists will appreciate the classic burger, made from a third of a pound of grass-fed beef.
