BEN
IV
An Edmonton chef returns with a new concept and a new backer
When Ben Staley walked
away from Yarrow in May
2022 — after leaving Alder
Room (2017) and North 53
(2013) — he had his sights
set on something completely
different. He was enrolled
in architecture school, ready
for a new chapter that
didn’t involve being a chef
and spending late nights in
a restaurant.
