	Description:		As one of the largest casinos in the world, Foxwoods has been expanding for more than 15 years, the most recent expansion in 2008 created the MGM Grand Resort at Foxwoods. In this episode we start by chatting it up with the Mashantucket Pequot tribes Chairman Rodney Butler who shares the history of how he and his people used to live before casinos changed everything. We also discuss how they got gaming started even as Wall Street said it would never work, who their unlikely financial savior was, and how gaming has transformed the lives of his community. Then we speak with Executive Chef Eddie Allen about how he oversees the about 30 dining outlets at the resort and get critical insight into the trends he is seeing and how the resort is adapting to meet the emerging dietary desires of Foxwoods’ clientele.
