Seattle’s Drag Brunch Has History
The city’s Sunday shows started long before the mimosas got bottomless.
There was a time not too long ago, when drag performances—now a mainstay of Seattle’s queer scene—were kept under wraps. And when brunches, complete with singing and dancing queens dressed in dazzling drag as you sipped mimosas, weren’t a Sunday staple. During the 1940s and ‘50s, an era largely shaped by restrictive laws and bias…

Seattle’s Vietnamese Coffee Wave
Rooted in history, evolution, and flavor, the city’s current bean boom is more than a caffeine fix.
While the number of Vietnamese coffee shops in Seattle has risen in the past few years, the beverage itself is not a new phenomenon in the region. Many Vietnamese restaurants in South Seattle have long served the beverage alongside other traditional dishes, such as bánh mì and pho. In fact, Bao Nguyen, shopkeeper of the…
Restaurant Roundup: Oysters in the Sky and Free Samples
Here’s what was served up recently in the Emerald City.
Plenty of restaurant owners dare to be different, but for Charles “C. Davis” Davis of C. Davis Texas BBQ, his culinary journey literally started with a dare.

Seattle’s Pizza Just Keeps Getting Better
New openings across the city make a strong case that Seattle can finally stop apologizing for its pies.
Complaining about Seattle’s pizza scene is a well-worn civic ritual, on par with decrying the sad state of the city’s sports teams. But wake up: It’s 2026, the Seahawks are world champs, the Sonics are coming back, and Seattle is awash in great pizza. Granted, this town of transplants has no “style” to claim as…
