About Harried & Hungry
We feed our guests what we feed our family.
Harry Dziedzic has owned Harried & Hungry since 2014, but he started working there long before. Harry moved to Seattle when he was 19 and took a part-time job at Harried & Hungry. He’d just finished his degree in audio recording and hoped to break into the industry in Seattle. But his restaurant roots were too strong, and he quickly became an integral part of the staff. When the owner Steve learned he had cancer, Harry took over all management of the café and continued running it after Steve passed.
Harry loves the restaurant industry and has a keen mind for business. He knew he wanted to open up his own place, so he applied to the UW Foster School of Business. When he was accepted, he tendered his resignation. Steve’s parents, who’d owned H&H since Steve passed, knew they couldn’t keep doing it without Harry. They offered him a sweetheart deal on buying the place. Harry realized he could either go to school to learn how to run a business or learn by doing so at a café he’d come to love.
Naturally, he bought Harried and Hungry!


A Passion for Food and Community
Harry has always been a passionate foodie with a sharp business sense. Since becoming owner, he’s transformed Harried & Hungry from a basic catering operation into a café and catering company known for scratch-made meals crafted with fresh, local ingredients.
Harry is hands-on, from waking up at 3:30 a.m. to pack catering orders, to shopping at farmers markets, to experimenting with new recipes. Alongside his wife Christina, Harried & Hungry continues as a truly family-owned and operated business.
