A part of brunch’s attraction comes from its complete superfluity. It’s not breakfast, it’s not lunch, and it’s hardly ever a healthful, nutritious, or sober prospect. A reprieve from the rushed protein shakes and unhappy desk salads that gas many a workweek, brunch offers the chance to sit down and savor one thing pointless. At its worst, brunch is a dumbed-down, overpriced model of a restaurant’s common menu. However there are a great deal of locations in Seattle doing genuinely artistic riffs on the brunch classics: Benedicts topped with braised duck and hoisin butter, Vietnamese-style hen and waffles, and naturally the Dutch child, that oft-overlooked image of Seattle civic satisfaction.
Leaving the map this month is Ballard’s the Fats Hen, which has sadly closed completely. Instead, welcome Dreamland Bar & Diner, Diamond Bay, and the Hangar Cafe to the map.
