Expanded Brunch at Poquitos, Viking Mural Destroyed

CAPITOL HILL— Poquitos has expanded its brunch hours — and menu. Beginning January 25, brunch will be served 10 am to 3 pm Saturdays and Sundays. New dishes include: huevos rancheros, chicken & churros, carne asada & eggs, and lots of other delightful waking-up things, including cocktails. [EaterWire]

BALLARD— As a very unfit ending to an iconic bar, a vintage mural recently uncovered during demolition of The Viking tavern has been ruined. Likely culprit: construction equipment. MyBallard has the damaged goods. [MyBallard]

EDMONDS— Serious Eats throws some cred at Biang!, a newish Chinese restaurant in Edmonds. As writer Jay Friedman explains, "Biang is the sound produced when a chef pulls dough and thwacks it against a table to make fresh noodles, making the hand-ripped Biang Biang noodles a must-order at Biang! restaurant."
