Hudson's interior is warm and dark, yet filled with windows. You can almost not hear the giant trucks rumbling by on Highway 99 (now called Marginal). But really you can hear those trucks, every one. I suggest dining with a boisterous friend, or perhaps being loud yourself.
I also liked the horseshoe-shaped bar with swiveling leather barstools. Pretty sweet seats.
The building's creepy backstory -- it was once part of a haunted morgue -- is keeping the neighboring KUBE Georgetown Morgue in business.
"Is it all true?" I asked the waitress. She rolled her eyes and said no. This UW article "The Georgetown Morgue: Gruesome true story or fabrication?" was the most thorough I could find. Alas, she's right -- no haunting nor bizarre murder scene, but only some great marketing.
At Hudson, a variety of visitors warmed the barstools and booths -- working guys in Carhartts on break, business suits in casual meetings and old friends catching up.
It's easy to see why; the menu is full of Southern hits with a Seattle twist. Like chicken-fried steak with an optional veggie cutlet or grits topped with egg and bacon, served with a homemade biscuit.
My friend's omelet was also excellent, served with perfectly crispy hashbrowns. This breakfast would feed a small family, but children aren't allowed inside -- 21 and over only.
While my breakfast at Beth's was fine, breakfast at Hudson was something I've daydreamed about since my visit.
