On Wednesday, Nov. 11, Potawatomi Hotel & Casino will recognize guests who have or continue to serve their country. In honor of Veterans Day, the casino’s lantern atop the hotel will display patriotic red, white and blue colors.
Veterans or active-duty military age 21 and over are invited to dine at The Buffet for lunch on Nov. 11. Military ID or proof of past service, along with a Fire Keeper’s Club card, must be shown to receive the free buffet.
Over 100 Potawatomi employees have served, or are currently serving, in the military, and those individuals will also be honored.
As a passionate champion of the local dining scene, Lori has reimagined the restaurant critic's role into that of a trusted dining concierge, guiding food lovers to delightful culinary discoveries and memorable experiences.
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with every dish. Lori is the author of two books: the "Wisconsin Field to Fork" cookbook and "Milwaukee Food". Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. In 2024, Lori was honored with a "Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch" award by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or planning for TV and radio spots, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
