Columbia Icefield’s Executive Chef Michael O’Neill has travelled the globe in pursuit of food. After apprenticeship training at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and a stint at the French Culinary Institute of America, Chef Michael worked in kitchens in Australia, England, Thailand, Pakistan and India. He brings those experiences to his current work, where he finds inspiration from the locality and seasonality of ingredients, as well as his surroundings.
“The breathtaking scenery and clean mountain air is an inspiration to take what the land has to offer and bring the best out of it,” he says.
