The elevated, experiential concepts from celebrity chef Joey Maggiore will debut this spring – with 5 additional Texas locations to come
Buckle up, Texas. Arizona icons Hash Kitchen and The Sicilian Butcher – both from concept king Chef Joey Maggiore — will make their Lone Star State debut this spring. The award-winning brunchery is set to open May 2 at 3200 Tracewood Way, Suite 110, Fort Worth, while the modern craft meatball and charcuterie bar concept will open right next door in June.
These locations mark the beginning of the brands’ Texas expansion over the next year, with three more Hash Kitchens coming to Pearland, Webster, and San Antonio; and two additional The Sicilian Butcher locations coming to North Dallas and San Antonio.
“We were born to be in Texas. Everything’s bigger in Texas, and everything’s bigger at Hash Kitchen and The Sicilian Butcher!” said Chef Joey Maggiore, who co-founded the experiential brands with his wife, Cristina Maggiore, and their business partner, Flora Tersigni. “From the world’s biggest Build-Your-Own Bloody Mary Bar to 5-foot charcuterie boards, our dishes bring the flavor, the party, and the wow factor.”
Hash Kitchen is iconic, innovative, interactive, and Instagrammable. The boozy brunch spot features a creative chef-driven menu, a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar, and a deliciously fun DJ on the weekends. It currently has seven locations in Arizona and one in Utah.
The Sicilian Butcher is a modern casual restaurant dishing up craft meatballs, charcuterie platters, from-scratch pasta, and innovative takes on traditional Italian cuisine. Plus, every location houses a sister concept, The Sicilian Baker, which features a build-your-own cannoli bar, pastries, gelato, and other Sicilian sweets. It currently has three locations in Arizona.
Savory, an innovative private equity firm investing in emerging restaurant concepts, acquired Hash Kitchen in 2021 and The Sicilian Butcher in 2022. Together, they will grow both concepts across the country.
“Both Hash Kitchen and The Sicilian Butcher are one-of-a-kind dining experiences,” said Andrew K. Smith, co-founder and managing partner at Savory. “Joey, Cristina, and Flora have been incredible partners, and we’re excited to grow these bombshell brands in Texas and communities all over the country.”
