Beth’s Café

Seattle


The best – or at least biggest – hangover breakfast in the world is at Beth’s, and you can get it all day long in an agreeably greasy space decorated with the amateur scribblings of former diners. You have your choice between a staggering six-egg or truly shocking 12-egg omelet. Still hungry? Bottomless hash browns!

The cafe is on down-at-heel Aurora Ave, which sits in ironic juxtaposition between the salubrious suburbs of Green Lake and Phinney Ridge.
