Biscuit Love
Nashville is home to The Grand Ole Opry, bachelorette parties, countless country bars, and now my favorite food critic. With my son now attending school here and my first visit to the Music City, we decided to end our eight-year hiatus of finding and reviewing the best breakfasts a city can offer.
Biscuit Love is a local and tourist favorite for a reason, marrying “Nashville Hot Chicken” with their savory, signature biscuits. Sounds simple, eh? With wait times sky-rocketing beyond two hours, we hesitated to succumb to so much hype-filled insanity. Luckily, it took us only an hour in line to decide for ourselves.
BISCUIT LOVE, Gulch, Nashville, TN
BITE-SIZED REVIEW:
“Bonuts”: Fried biscuit dough tossed in sugar, topped with Lemon Mascarpone, served over Blueberry Compote. Should really end the review here, but as a starter, it’s a great opening act.
Chronic Bacon: The biscuit takes center stage at this spot, but this sweet and spicy thick-cut bacon, the bacon Hank!, is the hidden, crystalized gem, of the menu. Fatty, crispy, and magnificently chewy.
Buttermilk biscuits: Reminiscent of a croissant, this star of the show is deceptively light despite the dense layers and buttery bite.
Princess: Nashville style spicy boneless “Hot Chicken” thigh, on a buttermilk biscuit, pickles mustard, and honey.
East Nasty Buttermilk Biscuit: topped with fried boneless chicken thigh, aged cheddar, sausage gravy. Pretty traditional country fried chicken.
Ambiance: Sundresses and boots. Ethan approved.
RATING: 4.6 out of 5 stars
