Ben Campbell, Seattle Star Chefs Rising Star Baker - 2020
Ben Campbell, of Ben’s Bread and Sea Creatures, named Seattle’s 2020 Star Chefs Rising Star Baker.
February 2020 — Ben Campbell may have been born and raised in the Seattle Area but his roots are in The South. His family’s Memphis origins led to a home kitchen full of comfort food and daily spreads of freshly baked cornbread, biscuits, and rolls. Although Campbell had always gravitated towards restaurants, it wasn’t until his mid-twenties that he considered the hospitality industry as a career. Fed up with boring desk jobs, he decided to enroll in the Art Institute of Seattle. Still inspired by the bread of his childhood, he picked up an interest in baking.
