Texas’ favorite morning treat has finally made its way north, much to the relief of Lone Star State transplants. And now, we get it, too: Magic is made by the folding of eggs and potatoes (and perhaps meat) into a tortilla.
Jack’s BBQ
First it brought us brisket; now, it offers brisket (or sausage) with cheese, potatoes and eggs, wrapped in a pillowy soft flour tortilla—the best example of the genre you’ll find this side of the state line. Wash it down with one of Jack’s sublime brunch cocktails. Georgetown, 3924 Airport Way S; 206.467.4038
Sunrise Tacos
A small, earnest version that seems to incorporate a hint of Northwest (local ingredients, and there’s one with Soyrizo)—not quite as greasy and down-home as you’d find in Austin, but no less delicious. Available in deli cases at various coffee shops around the city.
Citizen
Is it really a breakfast taco if you must order them in pairs and they come with a side of beans? Is it really a breakfast taco without the potatoes? Maybe it’s not to a real Texan, but it tastes good, and that’s good enough for us. Lower Queen Anne, 706 Taylor Ave. N; 206.284.1015
Skylark
Another breakfast taco that Texans might pooh-pooh (corn tortillas!) and the veggie version has hummus?), but the house-made chorizo makes this one worth granting an Austinite’s pardon. West Seattle, 3803 Delridge Way SW; 206.935.2111

Every component of the signature pork soup is made in-house to create a lasting impression.
Seattle is not short of quality Korean restaurants, but many offer similar menus built around the best-known, most popular dishes. When global restaurateur Hoyeon Park moved to Seattle, he noticed that it was difficult to find authentic Busan-style pork soup, a beloved comfort food in Korea but largely unknown in the States.

Restaurant Roundup: Cold Noodles and Underground Italian
Here’s what was served up recently in the Emerald City.
Noodles might not be at the top of everybody’s list when it comes to treats to cool off this summer—but they should be. Slurping down cold udon, naengmyeon, or bún is as refreshing as it is tasty. There are plenty of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese restaurants putting their best chilled dishes forward for the season,…
