Nancy Leson called to ask where we go to brunch when we're not at work. "(W)here do these chefs head on a busman’s weekend? It turns out even the new mavens of gastro-brunch are not immune to the pull of the traditional.
Fuller’s always on the lookout for a great eggs Benedict. For that he heads to Tom Douglas’ Lola.
So does Dana Tough of the Coterie Room (where, speaking of eggs Benedict, you should not miss the smoked Dungeness crab with bacon hollandaise, perched on a perfect potato patty).
His business partner Brian McCracken prefers the Georgian in the Fairmont Olympic. (Fancy!)
“There’s not too many places in Seattle to get that kind of elegance,” says McCracken, who helps himself to pastries at the jewel-box dining room’s brunch buffet.
So, will the dynamic duo serve brunch at their new place, The Old Sage, when it opens this spring next to their popular Pike/Pine boozery Tavern Law? “We’re debating about that,” says Tough. “Café Presse is hard to compete with,” cracks McCracken."
The article is a great one. Read it here. And thank you Nancy for the nod to our Eggs Benedict at The Coterie Room.
