Imagine what the number would be if Bomb Biscuits were open more than four or five hours a day, four days a week. Right now, Council and her crew are transforming bags of King Arthur flour into more than 1,000 biscuits a week. Chris Hunt for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Explore Atlanta micro bakeries attract biscuit lovers, those with a sweet toothĮrika Council is baker-owner of Bomb Biscuits on Irwin Street. “All the desserts I love will end up as cinnamon rolls at some point,” Council told me when we spoke on the phone. And, next week - or whenever they finish perfecting their cheesecake bun number. I’m of a mind to hit up the place again this week, considering s’mores are the featured bun. So are fluffy, pull-apart cinnamon buns slicked with a cream cheese frosting that accents the pastry, rather than taking center stage. A chocolate chip biscuit is a fine pairing with a cup of coffee. I could gush on about all the savory goodies, but that would leave out the sweet stuff. Chris Hunt for The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionĮven after you’ve made a tasting party out of all eight of the menu’s biscuit sandwich staples (and built a few of your own creations), the constant creativity will keep you coming back to check out the weekly specials, like sweet potato biscuits or the (I can’t believe it’s vegan) Florentine biscuit sandwich, featuring plant-based versions of chicken, Monterey Jack cheese and scrambled eggs. Explore Kitchen Curious: The only biscuit recipe you’ll ever need requires just 2 ingredientsīomb's Glori-Fried chicken biscuit features a thick, juicy cutlet of fried chicken with a few bread and butter pickles. The combination of rice and oat flours makes for a slightly earthier taste and denser baked product, but the gluten-free version still comes with a flaky texture and nice height. Council may be able to make traditional buttermilk biscuits in her sleep, but developing a recipe for a gluten-free product took some doing. Indeed, this is a place where vegans and gluten-free eaters will feel included in the biscuit love. The Atomic, a cheddar jalapeno biscuit filled with spicy sausage and a scrambled egg flecked with red pepper, is such a stellar flavor combination that this popular special now has a permanent place on the menu - and the kitchen even has developed a vegan variation. In fact, as the menu warns, it may induce a midday nap.Ī flavored biscuit is a fine foundation for a handheld, too.
But, glory be, that Carolina’s Finest open-faced biscuit, topped with fried chicken, bacon and smothered in sausage gravy, is a heck of a post-church meal. The SEC sandwich (maple sausage, egg and American cheese - cheekily referred to as “the people’s cheese”) is undefeated in my book, but the Classic (bacon, egg and cheese) takes a close second - except when I want a thick, juicy cutlet of fried chicken with a few bread and butter pickles (the Glori-Fried, or its sweet-savory glazed cousin, the Hot Honey). Bomb Biscuits has a sausage egg and cheese biscuit that is gluten-free, as well as the traditional ham biscuit. By the end of the decade, Brown underwent a stylistic makeover during which his forebears shifted to the likes of Jodeci, R. Within a few years, Brown became one of the biggest active pop stars with Chris Brown (2005) and Exclusive (2007), multi-platinum albums that produced five more Top Ten singles, including "Kiss Kiss" and "Forever." As a featured artist or duettist, he added to the count with hits such as "No Air," a ballad with Jordin Sparks.
While there was nowhere to go but down, at least in terms of chart positions, the singer, dancer, and occasional rapper was only getting started.
Greeted with comparisons to a young Michael Jackson and Usher, Chris Brown arrived in 2005 as a squeaky-clean pop-R&B artist with "Run It!," the first debut single by a male artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in over a decade.
