We’re excited to celebrate this Get To Know Your Customer Day with Chef Elliott Hein, the creative force behind Hatback Bar & Grill in Seattle’s vibrant SoDo district! 🎉 Hatback Bar & Grille, located right across from T-Mobile Park, has become the city’s go-to spot for year-round dining, brewing, and sports entertainment. Inspired by Seattle’s rich sports history, Hatback pays tribute to the legendary Ken Griffey Jr. with a nod to his iconic backwards cap. ⚾️ Since its debut two years ago, Hatback has been a hit with fans heading to Sounders, Mariners, and Seahawks games. Chef Elliott Hein, inspired by the flavors of the Pacific Northwest, has crafted a menu that’s as impressive as the venue itself, featuring standout dishes like the Puget Sound Oysters and the Farm Chopped Salad with sockeye salmon. Elliott’s journey began at 16, climbing the culinary ladder to become the executive chef at Hatback. His dedication to crafting unique Northwest seafood dishes and elevated bar fare has made Hatback a must-visit destination. Join us in celebrating Chef Elliott Hein and the incredible Hatback Bar & Grille for their contributions to Seattle’s dining and sports culture! 🌟 hashtag #gettoknowyourcustomer hashtag #seattlerestaurants
