“It’s like going to Austin without having to go to Waco,” brags Deep Ellum’s laid-back, home-cooking spot. Breakfast and blue plate specials are the fare—hangover-curing egg sandwiches with shaved ham and Tabasco mayo on Texas toast and King Ranch chicken casserole are your best bets. 2934 Main St., Downtown/Deep Ellum. 214-742-5362. $.
