IN SEARCH OF HIDDEN MENU TREASURES TULALIP RESORT CASINO CHEFS SHOWCASE THEIR PRIME PICKS

Something special is happening April 2 through May 30, 2018, at Tulalip Resort Casino. Tulalip chefs regularly take the opportunity to conceive new and delicious dishes using complex creativity at every level. Through inspirational research from the ever-changing culinary world, these creations invoke what truly makes the Tulalip chefs love what they do.

At each restaurant, there are favorite dishes the Tulalip chefs keep on their menus with the intention they may become “foodie” favorites. During these two months, the Resort chefs are enticing diners to take a walk through the menu and to step out of their normal dining routines. This dining event is to encourage patrons to venture outside of the usual, while still staying inside the box of their treasured dishes and to experience all of the culinary magic possible.

Below are some spotlight dishes to explore by Tulalip’s Culinary Chefs.
