Concessions International Bringing Salty's to Sea-Tac for Taste of the Region Event

SEATTLE, Oct. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Concessions International (CI) announced today that its Sea-Tac location of Seattle's favorite icon, Salty's, will participate in the airport's Taste of the Region event on Saturday, October 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will feature samplings from over 16 restaurants, craft beer and wine flights, chef demonstrations, and more. It will be open to both travelers and non-travelers.

Concessions International, one of the nation's largest minority-owned airport concessionaires, in partnership with Salty's Kingen family, will open the dual-level concept as a joint venture with Well-Buttered Bread and Nicholas & Associates. Well-Buttered Bread is a local Seattle, woman-owned business, and Nicholas & Associates is a minority-owned Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE).

The Salty's brand is authentic and historic to the Pacific Northwest, making it the ideal concept to anchor the central terminal of Sea-Tac. Beloved by locals and prime ministers alike for 40 years, guests have come to Salty's restaurants for uncommonly warm service and award-winning menus that celebrate local fare, seasonal seafood, regional wines, and America's best brunch. Salty's at the SEA was created as an oasis for travelers where every seat has a "waterfront" view that transports guests to the iconic, local Salty's restaurants for sunny beach days, spectacular sunsets, and twinkling skyline nights through a one-of-a-kind video wall filmed by local outdoor photographer Scott Kranz. Salty's at the SEA offers travelers a shucking-good time at the oyster bar, sports bar, dining room, or sail-thru counter!

Complementing Salty's at the SEA is BrewTop Social, a proprietary brand located directly above Salty's on the second level. BrewTop Social will offer an open-air dining experience with craft brews and gastropub fare. Guests will enjoy an expansive rotating selection from local breweries on tap.

"It is an honor for Concessions International to bring this world-famous restaurant to Sea-Tac International Airport," said Donata Russell Ross, CEO of CI. "In preparation of our opening next year, we are participating in Sea-Tac's Taste of the Region event to offer event-goers a sample of what's to come from Salty's airport location. We look forward to meeting our future guests and to the grand opening in the fall of 2020."

During Taste of the Region, guests will be able to sample Salty's Signature White Chocolate Mousse Cake with Raspberry Coulis. For Salty's at the SEA opening next year, the menu will showcase Northwest Coastal cuisine, including freshly shucked local oysters from the chilled seafood bar, seasonal seafood, steaks, burgers and sandwiches, salads, desserts, and a breakfast menu of plated offerings from Salty's famous brunch. Included will be Salty's favorites, like Coconut Crusted Prawns, Blackened Salmon Caesar Salad, Seafood Cioppino, Fish n' Chips, and Clam Chowder. Salty's Sail-Thru counter will offer a fast, grab & go menu of favorite hot and cold items from Salty's at the SEA, as well as freshly brewed local coffee and other local treats.
