Choose your own tomato sauce, vodka, toppings and size in Hash Kitchen’s Bloody Mary Bar.
One of the most popular brunch restaurants in Phoenix is going national.
Hash Kitchen, an Arizona-based restaurant known for its own Bloody Mary bar, received a $ 200 million investment from Mercato Partners’ Savory Restaurant Fund. Mercato Partners is a private equity firm based in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
The tipsy brunch restaurant was founded in 2015 by chef Joey Maggiore and The Maggiore Group, the family-run restaurant group behind The Sicilian Butcher, The Sicilian Baker and the up-and-coming Mexican restaurant The Mexicano. Maggiore’s late father Tomaso opened his eponymous Italian restaurant, Tomaso’s, in 1977.
The extravagant breakfast menu at Hash Kitchen includes cannoli pancakes, French toast with a split banana brioche, a short-rib breakfast burrito and, best-known, its own over-the-top Bloody Mary bar.
The restaurant currently has five locations in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and soon Savory Fund and Hash Kitchen will be working together to grow the business nationwide, with an initial focus on Denver, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Salt Lake City, according to a press release.
