Lodge and Legend: Volume 2 • Issue 1

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
MEET THE TEAM:
Daven
Dawkins
If you are crazy about Saskatoon’s
desserts, the Chocolate Moose
Pie, the Klondike Carrot Cake,
the Canadian Whiskey Bread
Pudding and the Bailey’s White
Chocolate Cheese Cake…they are
all personally made by Daven and
have been for over 20 years. Daven is
a graduate of Greer High School, and a
hard worker who always stays until the
job is done.
How long have you been with Saskatoon?
About 20 years.....a long time.
Tell us a little about how you ended up in hospitality business?
I had been working for a few years stocking and bagging groceries at Winn-Dixie
and Bi-Lo and was looking for a change of pace. I found it when I joined the team
here at Saskatoon.
What are your hobbies outside of work?
I love restoring old cars. There’s something about making something old and
broken look and work like new again that is really fulfilling.
What does your day at the Lodge look like?
My job is a student, and I'm still learning and constantly experiencing different
things. I also happen to cook and make all the desserts.
What is your favorite thing on the menu?
The wild game. It’s hard to pick a favorite between the elk, the kangaroo, the
ostrich, but the kangaroo is probably my favorite.
What is something you want Saskatoon's patrons to know?
This place is out of this world. It's a totally different experience from any other
type of restaurant and you don’t want to miss out.
