Hammer & Hand's Hold on Restaurants
Daniel Thomas is not only the CEO of Seattle/Portland-based construction company Hammer & Hand—he's also the co-owner of a hopping new restaurant in Portland called Xico. As a result, he brings a unique perspective to Hammer & Hand's restaurant construction work, including the firm's yet-to-be-disclosed new project in South Seattle. Among the restaurant trends Daniel sees is consumers' increasing demand for authenticity and unique experiences. This means a proliferation of new equipment and kitchen requirements, from open-hearth cooking to new bar equipment for the craft cocktail movement. In front of the house, there's a need to break the mold and create inviting, interesting, and beautiful spaces. For more info on our sponsor, click here.
