Joanne Palzkill, co-owner of two popular Chippewa Valley eateries, Draganetti’s and Za 51, has spent her whole life in the hospitality business.
Before her birth, her parents and older siblings had relocated from Chicago to Wisconsin’s northwoods in 1951, buying a home near Gordon and turning it into a resort and restaurant. The family still operates that business, now called the Enchanted Inn, which is about two hours north of Eau Claire. In 1961, the family opened a second business, Drag’s Restaurant and Roman Lounge, in Rice Lake.
