While traveling we do our best to understand and comply with various local ordinances and it was our understanding that if you visit “The Flying Biscuit Cafe” in Columbus, Georgia, and neglect to place an order that features their biscuits, it is considered not only poor form, but can also be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. ⚖️👩⚖️
Therefore, and because we strive to live the lives of law abiding citizens, 😉 we dutifully ordered both the “Flying Biscuit Breakfast“ and the “Honey Butter Chicken Benedict.” While the former dish featured a biscuit front and center, the latter slyly concealed it under generous layers of cheesy eggs and chicken. In both instances the quality of the biscuit greatly complimented each meal and affirmed the reason for its local legend status.
Perhaps it was just me, but I also greatly appreciated what I considered to be veiled musical references on their menu including: “Drops of Jupiter” (🚂), “Freebird” (🤘), and “Best I Ever Had” (↕️🌅).
As if enjoying a terrific breakfast wasn’t already enough, we also greatly enjoyed meeting General Manager Justin Whittaker and listening to him explain his concept for this relatively new restaurant and his appreciation for the freehand artistry displayed by Atlanta craftsman @gordosartproject when adding the murals to this space.
You may also be interested to know that the grits were cheesy, delicious, and sweet; the ingredients they use are from scratch and homemade; and they offer multiple Vegetarian and Vegan options.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
