Is it just me?

Regional favorites are funny, for the life of me I don't get the appeal of biscuits & gravy, but it seems to be big in the south.

Hey, we don't need that kind of negativity around here!



We like biscuits and gravy in the north too, dangit!

Chick-fil-A is very popular here, always busy. The first is about 6-7 miles from the house, the newer one is just 3 miles away in our town. Same owner is my understanding. They are a very nice and decent family, I was his assistant soccer coach 2 seasons, 10 years ago when our boys were 4 is the only way I know them.

They are ok to me, never had a bad sandwich there, I just prefer Chicken sandwiches from Wendy's and Arby's myself. I think a lot of the patronage here is due to their Christian based religious views and being closed on Sunday.

In N Out Burger I knew from time spent in CA decades ago. It came to Texas 5-7 years ago and every one was always packed like crazy the first few months. Now they seem to have settled down and do a good steady business. It's ok, there are better options around here.

Biscuits, gravy and sausage I love and are definitely a popular weekend hit in my house! I usually make some eggs too.

Not one for fast food. There is no way in h#$l I would drive 50 miles for one lol.

Umm....I only eat at Chic-fil occasionally, but never ever had the experience you had. Nothing but positive things to say about the Chic-fil stores, except for the incredible long lines in the drive thru.

That defeats the purpose. I can cook something in less time. What is frustrating though and which I've encountered a few times; working in a strange town not knowing when places close. After working late the only place open is a FF place so you pull up to the drive through window- and they shut the lights out. The last time it happened was at a Subway, 10 minutes before they supposedly closed. They saw me pull into the parking lot and shut everything off.

My wife is a Yankee... makes the best biscuits and gravy you ever had; and chicken and dumplings.... fahgetaboutit.... hands down the best on the planet.

They probably figured no one was coming and had everything cleaned then didn't want to have to clean it again.

Don't have either one around here, but 5 Guys is another chain that's always busy. Best fast food burger I've ever had and decent (albeit kind of greasy) fries, kind of pricey though. But don't try to eat one and drive.

Mustard & relish for me. No plans to go to Chicago either.

I've had it a few times, it was OK but nothing I'd go out of my way for (not that I'd have to given how close to Quebec we are).

5 guys really good, but very messy. Very expensive.

I love biscuits and sausage gravy. That is sometimes supper.

Tough luck. They advertise "open until 9:00" they shouldn't be closing the doors at 8:48. It's not like I could go home and cook something, that was a 10 hour drive.
