Great State Burgers
Grass-fed meat, house-made pickles—there’s much in Josh Henderson’s faux-lowbrow burger joints to admire. But OMG these fries: crinkle cut, genuine flavor, perfect crunch. greatstateburger.com —Kathryn Robinson
Xi’An Noodles

Meet the Moon
Most fans cram Leschi’s all-day family cafe and bar at brunch. We say go later for a grain salad: a bowl of greens, farro, barley, garbanzos, almonds, feta, and crunchy vegetables. So satisfying. meetthemooncafe.com —KR
