This Hong Kong Street Food is Taking Over Seattle

Just when I thought I was over chicken and waffles.

House Special: A Taste of Ecuador at Bad Chancla
Chef José Garzón brings a coastal Ecuadorian classic to his 335-square-foot Capitol Hill kitchen, where he hopes to introduce more dishes from home.
