Hogsalt was born different. It was the result of starting at the bottom. Of knowing nothing, but remembering everything. Of kitchens that inspired their crews, and kitchens that failed them. When Brendan Sodikoff decided to end his apprenticeship, it was 2010 in Chicago and the only place he could afford was a space where six previous restaurants had crashed. But he knew a key lesson: who you worked with, and how you worked together, was every bit as important as what was on the plate. Today, Hogsalt restaurant group employs more than 1,000 and has over twenty restaurants scattered across four cities. Our establishments are quirky, beautiful, and mischievous. We serve classic dishes executed so well that you'll understand why they became classics in the first place. We work hard to make every guest's visit something they'll remember for a long time. We take great pride in being part of an organization that makes people — our guests and ourselves — happy.
