We’ve had loaded fried chicken and biscuit sandwiches before, and they’re always a satisfying if messy way to start the day. The most famous is the East Nasty, a biscuit filled with a boneless Southern-fried chicken thigh and aged cheddar smothered in sausage cream gravy. You could easily share this, or eat it as a main course for a sweet breakfast. Its accompaniments are delightful and enrich the donuts without making them too sweet. The dough is dense, but fries up with air in it. The most famous sweet snack are Bonuts, which are donut holes rolled in cinnamon and sugar topped with lemon chiffon cream nestled atop blueberry compote. The buttermilk fueled bakery makes buttery, fluffy rolled biscuits, drop biscuits and even deep-fried breakfast pastries out of biscuit dough. Get anything here, but just make sure to get biscuits in as many forms as you can.

They are soft, dense, and buttery, served fresh and warm. A modern take on Southern breakfast, it works because it focuses on simply making great biscuits. One of the most popular restaurants in town, Biscuit Love, is more known for Nashville’s second most famous dish: biscuits.īiscuit Love Gulch started as a food truck and is now giant (with two other locations). Its unofficial civic dish, hot chicken, has reached fast-food levels of mainstream across the United States.
