Ethan Stowell

Since 2010, chef Stowell has consulted with Centerplate on the Safeco Field food and beverage program. This collaboration has won Safeco Field a reputation for serving locally inspired restaurant-quality food in a ballpark setting. In addition to Dynamite Chicken, Ballard Pizza Company, Holy Smokes BBQ and Sound Seafood, Stowell originated the “Northwest Mex” concept for the popular Edgar’s Cantina and Edgar’s Tacos. He has also created menu items featured at Safeco Field Sausage Company, Hit it Here Café and in the Private Suites.

Dynamite Chicken

Conceived from Ethan Stowell’s Bramling Cross restaurant in Ballard, Dynamite Chicken’s menu is updated this year with a new Spicy Chicken Sandwich ($12) that can be enjoyed either with or without Stowell’s spicy sauce. Also on the menu are hot wings (also with spicy sauce), jalapeno poppers and tater tots kicked up a few notches with Beecher’s cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic and spicy yellow peppers on top. Also, the fan favorite garlic fries are new and improved with Parmesan cheese.

Jack’s BBQ

The SODO neighborhood favorite is coming to The ‘Pen serving up Central Texas-inspired BBQ creations from Jack Timmons. As a native Texan, Jack knows a thing or two about the craft of BBQ like the “low and slow” cooking method over hardwoods. Safeco Field will be offering Jack’s Beef Brisket Sandwich ($13) that includes his signature salt and pepper rubbed brisket (that's roasted for 12 hours) served on a brioche bun and Jack’s mild or spicy sauce. Other choices include Buttermilk Hush Puppies ($7) seasoned with cayenne pepper and jalapeno peppers and served with tartar sauce and the Frito Pie ($8) featuring Jack’s smoked brisket chili served in a mini bag of corn chips topped with cream cheese and sour cream. Finally, the Cheddar-Jalapeno Beef Hush Dog ($8) is especially good. Dipped in buttermilk hush puppy batter and deep fried, it’s like a corn dog but way, way better. Or experience the similar Cheddar-Jalapeno Beef Smoked Sausage on a Pioneer Bakery bun ($12).

Din Tai Fung

Taking over the Intentional Wok space is Taiwan-based Din Tai Fung. This hot spot will be serving up Spicy Pork Wontons ($15) which consist of pork and bok choy wonton dumplings with spicy sauce, Pork Buns and Veggie Buns ($9) which are traditional steamed Chinese bao buns with either a pork filling or bok Choy, tofu, mushrooms and vermicelli noodles.

Holy Smoke BBQ

While a bit on the pricey side, you won’t find a tenderer house-smoked longbone beef rib ($18.50). It’s served on a bed of coleslaw with a choice of Jack’s mild or spicy sauce. Psst...it’s a meaty meal and some of the best barbecue we've ever tasted!

Sound Seafood

While you might be familiar with Sound Seafood’s True Cod Fish and Chips and Dungeness Crab Sandwiches, you will be amazed by their new Lobster Rolls ($20). Served on a King’s Hawaiian sweet role, the tender lobster claw meat is dressed with a garlic celery aioli.
