Every week we swap out the Served banner art above, introducing you to the people who serve food and drinks in the South Sound. This week, meet Hana Klimek.
Server Banner Girl, Aug. 4-10, 2014
Hana Klimek has been with Cooper Point Public House since it opened in January 2014. Actually, after she answered a craigslist ad, she helped owners Sam and Melissa Rasmussen and Sam's mother, Catherine Kathrein, convert El Nopal Mexican restaurant on Olympia's Westside into the Northwest-style public house in December 2013. Klimek is still at Cooper Point, serving craft beers, pours from small-scale distilleries and a tasty "Dish Pit Burger" with a big smile.
Why do you serve?
"I serve because I love people! That being said, Cooper Point Public House is owned and operated by some of the best people I know. Going to work never feels like a chore; it's a team effort and I always feel like I'm surrounded by family."
Who is your favorite server in the South Sound?
"Natalya Gimson at Vic's Pizzeria. I have tremendous respect for all the ladies and gents preparing as well as serving food in a pizzeria. I know it can't be easy and I appreciate hard work when I see it."
What are you most proud to serve?
"Anything and everything on our menu. Among my personal favorites are our Caesar with calamari and our delicious crab cakes."
What's your current drink of choice?
"Kentucky Mule. It's the drink that introduced me to bourbon. Enough said."
Favorite movie?
"Jaws. Saw the film around the age of 4, and my fear grew into fascination quickly. ... Thanks Dad!"
What don't you serve?
"Funky fake food. I am proud to be a part of a restaurant that serves quality food and drinks. I love our menu because we really have something for everyone and the food is as genuine as the people who prepare it."
What's on your radar at Cooper Point Public House?
"My radar? I'm just the daygirl. My advice, get to the Point!"
