Seattlest: Dueling Brunches at Smith and 22 Doors

COMTE

I was a little disappointed in the relative dearth of choices at Smith, and particularly the striking of the Scotch Egg from the revamped menu (really could have used one of those on Sunday!), but the biscuits & gravy were actually pretty good (it looks like the same gravy the use on their poutine), and the waitress even let me add a side of scrambled eggs for $3, so it turned out to be a quite satisfactory breakfast.

That's interesting -- I was just at 22 Doors this Sunday for brunch and there was no line at all! We were so glad to not have to fight for it, as we usually do at the Coastal. My croque madame was pretty tasty!

J, I am *ready.* This fits nicely with my planned 15th Ave pub shuttle later on in the day.

Their bloody mary is mighty good. One of my favorites in town. Their grits I have literally day dreamed about though.

i would second the grits recommendation except now you've kind of ruined them with peculiar mental imagery, abbey. Would you bathe in their bloody mary, too? I hope not because it is delicious. MvB -- with cruise ship season approaching, i think you and I should start a Capitol Hill brunch bus tour. kind of like the ducks but add stopping for brunch at each 15th/19th location. Also, Volunteer Park Cafe has a mighty fine brunch offering. But it's usually pretty crowded too.

if they offer their grits as a brunch special - they are NOT to be missed. I would bathe in that stuff if I could.
