The Best Thing Our Assistant Art Director Ate Last Week
Porkchop & Co continues its reign as one of Seattle's best brunch spots
By Seattle Mag May 23, 2016
Therapy comes in all forms, but for Seattle Magazine assistant art director Amanda Hill, it’s all about b-r-u-n-c-h.
I got an email from her gushing about a lazy Saturday morning with her gal pals at Porkchop & Co. It’s their tradition to start with coffee and mimoas and that alone fits the bill for ritualistic therapy. Then comes the carbs and cheese.
Porkchop & Co is a Seattle magazine readers choice for Best Brunch, and it’s easy to see why. Amanda dug into an apple melt: a mixture of cheddar, gruyere, pickled apples, and caramelized onions grilled on sourdough with proscuitto for $13. Her friend’s eggs benedict was equally scrumptious: country ham, roasted kale, and poached eggs with porchetta hollandaise on a buttermilk biscuit ($12)
It was the special in her nerdy foodie photo that caught my eye: house lox on campagne toast with ramp pesto, pickled onions, and a sunny Stokesberry egg. Don’t know how much it was and don’t care. I shall have it.
After that, Amanda continued her therapy with some window shoppin at Baleen, but I was too busy lingering on that brunch photo to ask what she bought. “Love Ballard on sunny weekends,” she wrote.
Me too.
