Best places in Seattle to kill a hangover

First things first, I have a major love affair with cotija cheese…I eat about a pound of the stuff every week or so (mmm, salty). So I delight in the fact that the Senor Moose breakfast involves black beans covered in delightful cotija. The coffee comes in giant mugs. The MACHACA CON HUEVOS (“Shredded beef scrambled with salsa and eggs topped with avocado.Served with black beans and tortillas” ) delights every time. Packed on the weekends but they serve breakfast til 3pm. Mmmmm.

Coffee comes served with heavy cream. The real stuff. The biscuits are easily as Big As My Head. The list of omelettes, scrambles and skillets is a mile long, the cinnamon rolls (carbs….extra sugary carbs. a must for my mornings after) are probably ten days of sustenance on a plate with a doily. It’s the greatest. Also the greatest: their tzatziki. I order a side of it with every breakfast. Goes great on any of the scrambles (which are liberally obscured beneath LOTS of cheese. again, the cheese thing. hmmm). ALSO of note: half a dozen flavors of mimosas and a bloody mary that’s a certifiable meal-in-a-cup. Avoid the crepes. They haven’t quite mastered the crepe batter. They’re heavy and mushy and quite unlike a crepe ought to be.

Ok, I’m straying a little from home base, but if you’re hungover and feel like a little drive to work it off…head u to Edmonds for some good diner food with the locals. Good eggs, good hash browns, great “stopping for breakfast on our way out of town” vacation vibe (the sea air that the Sound lends to Edmonds doesn’t hurt that vibe, either). Service can be slow, food is comfort food. Pies: many flavors.

OKAY, I put the Attic on every list possible (it’s my favorite…and 2 blocks from the house, so it’s easy…I’m a regular). Something comforting about fixing a hangover in a bar. While watching ESPN. Not much to pick from (a few different egg dishes), they cop out with toast, but hey…you can douse everything in ketchup and stone ground mustard (and order french fries with your eggs). No frills. No fuss. Great place to sport the bed-head and pajama pants. Bonus: no kids (love ‘em, but when I’ve got a headache….eh).

Pretty good ambiance (I like the big wooden bar), decent menu, breakfast served most of the day. $4 bloody mary’s are pretty hard to beat. Service is like pulling teeth. Every. Time. But…when you’re in the mood for breakfast, this place specializes in breakfast. Tasty bacon. Omelettes aplenty.

I put this one on here because it’s a Seattle staple, home to the 12-egg omelette featured on the Travel Channel. They let you color and hang your picture on the wall. Take friends, arrive hungry, leave full. Hangover destination spot – gotta try it at least once.
