"It’s 6:30 am, and you just landed at SeaTac after a red eye next to someone listening to three hours of Tony Robbins without headphones—you need breakfast. Set that Uber destination to Ludi's, a Filpino diner and Seattle institution. Here, the sound of flowing black coffee and the smell of fried garlic engulfs the dining room. While you’re hanging out in a booth, order a stack of fluffy ube pancakes dressed in a bright purple coconutty glaze. Or if you don’t want to risk missing out on any of the hits, get the combo-silog full of peppery longanisa, foot-long lumpia, a pounded pork chop, and garlic rice that we could eat fistfuls of on its own." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
