Chef Chris DiFonzo
Award-Winning Executive Chef
“I have been employed with Buffalo Run Casino & Resort for over 15 years. Early on in my career I attended Culinary School at Pennsylvania Culinary Arts in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I worked my internship at The Peabody Hotel in Orlando Florida and had the opportunity to move to many other places throughout my career.
When I started at Buffalo Run, during that time, we as a Culinary staff were recognized for many achievements such as; “Best of the Best of Ottawa County”, “The Flavor of the Four States “and just being noticed as preparing Award Winning entrees at “The Coleman House Restaurant”.
We constantly strive to carry on our tradition to be the best establishment in the Four State area."
