The Hottest New Restaurants in the Seattle Area, July 2024
"In March, José Garzón’s hot dog-studded Latin-fusion food from Black Cat Bar in Belltown traveled up the hill to Olive and Denny, where the Garzón crew is running a li’l deli-bodega with an expanded menu. (A chancla is a flip-flop — the thing your mom chases you with when you’re a bad little kid. “‘The trauma of ‘la chancla’ is something that most Latinx millennials and first-gens can relate to,” Garzón says.) To-go items include the Fake Ass Cubano (using Hawaiian rolls instead of pan de agua), vegan and non-vegan picadillo, a super luscious ropa vieja, and a few Caribbean/South American dry goods. Bad Chancla is also selling breakfast sandwiches and burritos as well as local small-batch coffee by Black Arrows on weekends only." - Meg van Huygen, Harry Cheadle
