Hail & Hog Kitchen and Tap, a northern Virginia-based theme restaurant paying homage to the NFL’s Washington Redskins, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The eatery is based in Ashburn, Va., a suburb located 30 miles north of Washington that is also home to the professional football team’s training camp. Hail & Hog is one of a number of football-themed restaurants owned by the G.R.E.A.T. Grille Group, also known as G3. None of the other G3 businesses have filed for bankruptcy, according to Hail & Hog’s lawyer. “The root of the bankruptcy relates to the cost of the build-out for the restaurant and sums owed as a result to the general contractor,” said Roy Terry, a Sands Anderson lawyer who is representing Hail & Hog in the case. The restaurant plans to stay open and use the restructuring process afforded by chapter 11, Terry said.
