To try and decide each week where and what to eat around the basin can be a challenge – there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that will surely satisfy those hunger pangs and leave you wondering where to go next.

Just saying the words biscuits and gravy automatically takes me back to my grandmother’s kitchen. She made them for me ever since I can remember and they were always amazing. So naturally when that was mentioned as it relates to this week’s feature, my taste buds perked up and my belly got excited.

While this dish does have the feels of biscuits and gravy, it’s so much more. It starts out with biscuit dough getting rolled out to pave the way for a heaping scoop of filling that consists of scrambled fresh eggs, turkey sausage and a cheese combo of cheddar and jack. Once that’s placed, the dough is wrapped around the filling leaving you with a self-contained dish that is baked off and served with a side of house made country gravy for dipping.

The biscuit is buttery and flaky and is the perfect vehicle to allow for maximum dunkage in the gravy. And by including all the other breakfast components, it feels like a complete meal. The gravy is seasoned just right and has the perfect consistency to ensure it seeps into all the nooks and crannies of the biscuit bomb, without getting all over the place.

If you’re one to eat in your car on the way to work or take a meal on the go to hit the slopes, this is about as perfect as an option as you can get. Add a cup of their dark Brazil roast and you’ll be well fueled to tackle any morning.
