From relish trays, popovers and America’s Dairyland delights, to meat and seafood specialties, and Fork Farms salad bar favorites, Taste of the Draft will feature flavorful supper club cuisine from across the state.
And no Wisconsin supper club is complete without a showcase of local cheeses and other dairy favorites, as well as curated spirits and after-dinner dairy-delicious ice cream drinks — including grasshoppers and pink squirrels.
In addition to tasting the favorite dishes of celebrity and locally loved chefs, guests will be able to mix and mingle with Green Bay Packers greats including LeRoy Butler, Jerry Kramer, James Lofton, Dave Robinson and Ahman Green, as well as experience other surprise-and-delight moments including musical entertainment, a sleight-of-hand magician, a silent auction, an appearance by Miss America and Taste of the Draft’s very own beer garden.
Taste of the Draft will raise critical funds for GENYOUth’s commitment to tackling student food insecurity in Wisconsin. Nutrition grants will be awarded to up to 90 schools, in celebration of the 90th NFL Draft, including Grab and Go school meal carts and milk coolers to increase access to and participation in healthy school meals.
“With one in six Wisconsin children living in food insecurity and nearly half of the state’s students qualifying for free and reduced-price school meals based on household income, GENYOUth’s mission to help all kids thrive through nutrition and physical activity is more urgent than ever,” said Ann Marie Krautheim, CEO of GENYOUth.
