As far as Southern foods go, nothing beats a warm biscuit just out of the oven, slathered in butter, and drizzled with honey. Actually, we take that back: Nothing beats a warm biscuit, topped with a piece of fried chicken, ladled with sausage gravy. Actually—sorry, it’s just so hard to choose when we’re this in love with the menu here. Karl and Sarah Worley’s ode to this butter-and-flour magic trick began as a food truck and morphed into this fast-casual breakfast-and-lunch spot in Nashville’s Gulch neighborhood. How good are their biscuits? Hour-plus waits on the weekends are not unheard of. The Worleys make three styles of biscuits: a beaten biscuit, a yeast-raised version for sandwiches, and a super buttery, flaky one. We usually keep it simple when it comes to classics, but the biscuit french toast and biscuit burger with a layer of pimento cheese have us forgetting all about tradition.
What to order: the East Nasty (biscuit, fried chicken, aged cheddar, sausage gravy), bonuts (fried biscuit dough)
We love: John’s Ham Bar, a special section of the menu that offers tastes of aged country hams from Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky. And, yes, you get biscuits with them, too.
