My travels to North Carolina a few weeks ago led me to a
restaurant I have passed by for over a decade.
The restaurant is called Biscuitville.
According to their website they have over 50 restaurants in North Carolina
and Virginia. They open up early but close
around 2:00.
Every time I go up to
that area of the country I see the signs on the Interstate for their
restaurants but never stopped. I always
say they must have good biscuits if they call themselves Biscuitville. Well, this past trip the planets were in the
correct alignment and I stopped at one.
When I walked into the restaurant they had an older lady who
looked like my grandma. She was at the
front counter making the biscuits. They
did not have her hidden in the back like most other restaurants. I knew right then I was in store for a
treat. The restaurant was very
busy. All the people that worked there
were very nice.
I have to say they make a pretty good biscuit. I went for the basic sausage biscuit so I
would have a benchmark with the other fast food chains (Hardee's, McDonalds,
Chik Fil A. Etc). Biscuitville easily had the better
biscuit. You could tell it was fresh. It was the perfect texture. It was very flaky but not too flaky and
definitely not "doughy" (that's probably not a word, but you know
what I mean). The sausage was perfect.
Again, you could tell it was fresh just ike the biscuit.
I find myself now craving another biscuit from there. I also want to try the other items they have
on their menu.
But alas, it will more
than likely be several months, maybe even a year before I am back to that area
of the country where they are lucky to have Biscuitville's.
I am kicking myself for not stopping there sooner. That made me think I should be more daring in
my travels. Instead of stopping at the
traditional stops I plan on looking for the different out of the ordinary
stopping places. I know sometimes the
result might not be as perfect as my stop at Biscuitville but it's a chance I
am willing to take.
