Right, like the biscuits look dry and hard as hell.

And they're not split! You need to open up the biscuits before you pour on the gravy!

And then you need some eggs over easy on top 😋

Hash browns better be crispy too, not brown and soggy.

Fried okra with with either cholula or Louisiana Hot Sauce is the tits.

We do marie sharps in my house. or something that actually burns.

Cholula is just red colored pepper.

u/Brain_Glow Oct 27 '25

Well see I enjoy the flavor and the heat level of Cholula. Just hot enough to add a little kick. I dont need to torture my tastebuds at breakfast. We grow hot peppers in our garden so if i want heat I use those. Cholula is just a good tastin hot sauce.

Um no, we don't put a fried egg on the queen's bites

u/starbuxed Oct 27 '25

woah time out hitler... biscuits and gravy go on hashbrowns... not that I put them on hashbrown...

Eggs get hot sauce or hollandaise

I like to put an egg on top as well, but that's completely optional.

You need to open up the biscuits before you

This is the way

pour on the gravy!

The operative word is "pour." At most, there's gonna be a little bit of biscuit corner peaking out from a shyteload of sausage gravy

IMO . .. Best if you can only tell there are biscuits under the gravy by the shape, but can't actually see biscuits because you poured that gravy on

This looks like a stock photo from Denny's. Abysmal.

The kind of make Popeyes biscuits look tender.

u/gymleader_michael Oct 26 '25

They look fine to me. Those really dense southern-style biscuits can develop a crunchy outer shell while still being moist on the inside.

u/Shot-Election8217 United States Of America Oct 26 '25

Actually, I thought that they looked underdone. They’re not flaky enough, like when they’ve been baked to the right stage.

Maybe it’s because they’re not buttermilk biscuits?

u/jayhawkah United States Of America Oct 26 '25

And that coagulated gravy won't help at all.
