PORTLAND, Wash. — Portland is about to get a new restaurant inspired by former Seahawk Marshawn Lynch’s grandmother.
Lynch is opening his own sports-themed restaurant in the city’s downtown area adjacent to a hotel.
It will be called “BEAST,” after Lynch’s “Beast Mode” nickname. It will serve Hawaiian cuisine based on recipes from Lynch’s family.
The restaurant is expected to open in September or October.
According to KPTV, Lynch is one-quarter Pinoy and was raised by his Filipino grandmother.
Lynch spent six seasons -- most of his NFL career - with Seattle.
