The Dish is an easy place to drive past -- it's on Leary Way between Fremont and Ballard, beside a vacuum dealership, and doesn't exactly catch the eye. Except on weekend mornings, when the crowd outside tells you that this is something worth checking out. Open only till 2 pm or so, The Dish serves spectacular breakfasts and brunches. Breakfast standards like eggs, sausage/bacon and potatoes are superb, but they really shine on their scrambles and the unparalleled Slacker Especial, a hot, slightly spicy and flavorful conglomeration of eggs, tortillas and enchilada sauce that will fill you up till dinner. The dining room is small and eccentrically shaped, and the decor is colorful and funky. Good coffee and friendly service complete the picture.
