Cavern chef and owner, Tricia Bell, began working in the service industry as a kid and, although she flirted with the industry for many years, she took a long and meandering path through international humanitarian relief work, three degrees and a tenured teaching position at CEGEP (College d’enseignement général et professional) before arriving back where she started. Through it all, she always kept one foot in the game, because serving was fun and light, “more ephemeral than the world I was used to," she says.
After spending most of her adult life outside of Edmonton, Tricia returned to reunite with her aging parents and “to become a cocktail waitress,” she says. The relief work she was doing was draining and she was looking for respite, but what began as a break became a three-year detour and, ultimately, the realization that she wanted to be self-employed, that she wanted to do “something different." So, she opened up a cheese shop and wine bar.
