Why is local sourcing important for Potawatomi’s dining? How does it elevate the experience for guests? PETE ZACH: Using local products really matters to us. We work
with providers we trust who have high-quality food and beverage offerings. Being in Wisconsin, obviously dairy is a heavy-hitter – we have access to the best dairy for all our dining properties. Local sourcing is also important because of seasonality. We’re always looking to use fresh, seasonal vegetables. And it’s also about supporting other Wisconsin businesses. PHOTOS BY JOHN CIZMAS
