Culinary Success story cooked with ingredients from Camosun
Melissa Craig, a graduate of Camosun’s Culinary Arts program, currently stars on national TV as part of a commercial for the White Spot restaurant chain. Melissa is the Executive Chef at Bearfoot Bistro in Whistler. In 2001, while at Camosun, she competed in a national competition for apprentices and won top spot. After her graduation, Melissa accepted the sous chef position at the five-star restaurant in Whistler. Now she is the Executive Chef. In 2008, the 28-year-old won the National Gold Plate Award in the 2008 Canadian Culinary Championship, beating some of the country’s best chefs for the honour.
