The first of several in-market restaurants featuring a
chef-driven menu with ingredients sourced from the store, Field
House debuts in Mill Creek
SEATTLE, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Today, Town & Country (T&C) Markets, one of few local,
independent, and family-owned and operated markets in the Puget
Sound region, announced the debut of Field House, its new
hospitality brand and unique market-to-table restaurant. Setting
itself apart, T&C Markets enlisted award-winning chef and
leading local restaurateur, Ethan
Stowell, to craft Field House's menu of classic favorites
drawing inspiration from the markets' pantries, seasonal
ingredients and regional purveyors.
"This innovative market-to-table concept is just the first in a
series of exciting initiatives we're rolling out to transform the
grocery experience and further share our love of food with our
guests," said CEO of Town & Country Ryan Ritter
"We're passionate about food at T&C, and Field House allows
us to create a real sense of place by bringing our best foods and
the community together," said Ryan
Ritter, CEO of Town & Country. "This innovative
market-to-table concept is just the first in a series of exciting
initiatives we're rolling out to transform the grocery experience
and further share our love of food with our guests."
Field House's menu offers the best of what you can shop in
T&C Markets, using ingredients diners can bring home after
loving the taste and flavor. It emphasizes classic favorites like
pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and specialty entrees with a creative
twist like Mama's smoked brisket tots, a sockeye BLT, T&Caesar,
and Dungeness crab cakes. Field House will also offer a weekend
brunch featuring a Macrina cinnamon roll, Nutella pancakes, and
smoked salmon & spinach scramble. A curated beer and wine list
will be complemented with seasonal frozen drinks.
"Partnering with Ethan Stowell to
design the menu and establish a top-notch hospitality experience
was an ideal selection," continued Ritter. "His reputation for
creating simple dishes that deliver rich, memorable and special
flavors combined with his commitment to using the finest
ingredients from close to home and attentive, approachable service
made him a perfect partner."
"I'm thrilled to be involved, and appreciate the opportunity to
be a part of the Town & Country team bringing a market-to-table
restaurant inside a grocery store to life," said Chef Ethan Stowell, ESR. "It's super cool because
T&C has the best ingredients in the city - and our Field House
team has them at their fingertips to create seasonal, fresh dishes
that will surprise and delight people. Pairing this with the
welcoming T&C team and warm, inviting restaurant environment is
a recipe for success."
Stowell will also provide hands-on training to support
delivering an exceptional service environment and hospitality
culture that aligns with T&C's ethos.
The debut of Field House inside the Town & Country Markets
Mill Creek store is leading the way for guests to experience the
quality of Town & Country Markets' offerings—through a
chef-created menu, served in a comfortable, convenient
community-focused restaurant located right in the market. The
company plans to open its next Field House locations in Lakemont
and Poulsbo.
The name "Field House" embodies the company's roots and founding
by the Nakata family. Naka means "middle" and ta means "field."
Inspired by the family's Middlefield Farm on Bainbridge Island, the Field House name is a
nod to the company's history and an invitation to Town &
Country's table.
Field House is celebrating its grand opening this weekend, on
July 19th. To view the new Field
House menus, please visit
