The sky is the limit for Vancouver restaurant owner bringing Indigenous cuisine to YVR – The Globe and Mail
The founder of an award-winning Indigenous restaurant is now the first Indigenous food purveyor in a Canadian airport.
For Inez Cook, owner of Vancouver’s Salmon n’ Bannock and its airport offshoot Salmon n’ Bannock On The Fly, getting her food on the menu at the YVR Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges is a big deal. It’s also personal.
“I’m Air Canada family,” says Ms. Cook, who retired from her 33-year career as a flight attendant with the airline two years ago.
“When I reached out to them and said I think it’s time that Air Canada is the first airline in Canada to introduce Indigenous culinary to their guests, I was really elated that they were open to the conversation.”
