35 years of Saltgrass is really a celebration of people like Steve Hooper. 🤠
Steve first fell in love with Saltgrass in 2002. A few years later, he decided to turn that love into a personal quest: eat at every Saltgrass Steak House location.
He completed the quest. Then we opened more restaurants... so naturally, Steve kept going. And going. And going. Over the years, his Saltgrass travels have taken him across the country, to opening days, road trips with family and more Pat’s Ribeyes than he can count. In his words, probably “at least a full bovine.”
Most recently, Steve made it to our Cripple Creek location and once again officially completed his quest of dining at every open Saltgrass. Steve calls it SOCS, Saltgrass Obsessive Compulsive Syndrome. He says there is no known cure that he knows of, just treatment: Eating at Saltgrass. ❤️
For 35 years, people have walked through our doors for steaks and left with traditions, stories and memories that stretch far beyond the table. Steve, thank you for taking Saltgrass along for the ride and for being part of our story for more than two decades.
We’ll keep opening them if you keep visiting them. Deal?
