We are excited to share that Dave Kretzmann, a dedicated member of the V. Marchese family since 2018, has received the Hospitality Purveyor Award from the American Culinary Federation Fox Valley Chapter.
The Hospitality Purveyor Award is given to an industry professional who consistently goes above and beyond in their support of chefs, restaurants, and foodservice organizations. Recipients are chosen by culinary leaders who recognize the nominee’s reliability, integrity, deep product knowledge, and commitment to strengthening the culinary community. It is one of the most respected honors within the American Culinary Federation because it highlights not only exceptional service but also meaningful partnership. Winning this award shows that the recipient is viewed as a trusted extension of the kitchen team and someone who helps chefs perform at their best.
In the foodservice world, purveyors play a vital role that often goes unnoticed. Chefs rely on consistent quality, dependable deliveries, and partners who understand the pressures of the kitchen. The Hospitality Purveyor Award celebrates professionals who help the industry operate smoothly behind the scenes. Dave’s recognition reflects the importance of the work he does every day and the impact companies like V. Marchese have on the hospitality community across Wisconsin.
Since joining our team in 2018, Dave has earned a reputation for his genuine relationships, dedication to his customers, and passion for delivering exceptional service. Whether he is personally helping chefs, coordinating urgent orders, or offering an experienced perspective, he approaches every interaction with care and consistency.
Dave also gives back to the industry in meaningful ways. He supports local charities, culinary scholarships, and community events, showing the same heart and commitment outside of work that he brings to his customers each day.
We are incredibly proud to celebrate this moment with him. His work ethic, generosity, and devotion to the culinary community make this honor truly well deserved. Congratulations, Dave, and thank you for all that you do for V. Marchese and the hospitality industry.
