In this podcast episode #19 of Eat Well Travel Better, join us as we speak with Christie Peters , a former model, who left her modeling career to return to her hometown, Saksatoon, in the Canadian prairies, a land of opportunity, a kind of wild west, where innovative and passionate entrepreneurs can do more and innovate more quickly than in a bigger city. Today Christie is the successful Chef/Owner of The Hollows and Primal Pasta restaurants in Saskatoon, Canada.
