As Dacanay explains, the casino and lodge was without an executive chef for about a year before he arrived, and the foodservice options had fallen below the standards the resort had enjoyed traditionally. However, Clearwater River’s food and beverage program wasn’t up to the standards it typically enjoyed. When Melecio Dacanay took over as executive chef at Clearwater River Casino & Lodge last year, the resort already had a reputation as one of the largest and most popular in the region. Clearwater River Casino & Lodge is freshening up its foodservice options with locally sourced ingredients and healthier options.
