Story summary

Christie Peters, a chef and business owner in Saskatoon, Canada, has achieved significant success with her establishment Primal, which opened in 2015. Originally, she started the Hallows restaurant in the Riversdale neighborhood in 2011, but it closed when the building was demolished nine years later. Fortunately, Peters had already acquired a new location for Primal, which has since gained national recognition and ranked among the top 100 restaurants in Canada according to Open Table in 2021. In addition, her success earned her an invitation to visit the fermentation lab at the best restaurant in the world at that time—located in Copenhagen—in 2026. Peters chose Saskatoon due to its up-and-coming nature and proximity to the river, inspired by similar successes she witnessed in Vancouver's Gastown area.
