Denver Biscuit Company - Denver, CO

We were vacationing out in Denver with some family recently and thought we’d go to a breakfast staple with our little group. Denver Biscuit Company is doing some really creative things with breakfast these days and making some headlines. And since my family is originally from down south, we know our way around biscuits and gravy. (which I VERY rarely order in restaurants because no one does gravy correctly in a restaurant, especially up north) 

The particular location we went to in the Tennyson area is a combination of four businesses: DBC, Frozen Gold (ice cream), Atomic Cowboy (cocktails), and Fat Sully’s (pizza), so the menu choices are very thorough. To focus on the DBC menu, they’ve got some really fun things on the menu. Lots of biscuit sandwiches and biscuit plates, but also lots of sides and even GIANT cinnamon biscuit rolls. 

 

I went with The Franklin, after some deliberation. It’s a biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, bacon, and cheddar cheese, then covered in sausage gravy and of course I got a fried egg on top, as well. 

It’s a monster, but it so good. Since “biscuit” is in the name of the business, they have clearly mastered making them. Light and fluffy but very buttery and filling. The fried chicken would have stood on its own, but it’s even better covered in bacon and cheese and gravy. The fried egg on top was an excellent choice, and well worth the upcharge. I mentioned I was picky about gravy, and this is one of the best delivery I’ve seen in a restaurant. It’s never going to be as good as my grandma’s from Alabama, but it’s leaps and bounds above what I’ve seen in so many restaurants up north. 

Everyone was pleased with their order, so it’s safe to say this place is going to have something for everyone. Really good service and really top-notch food – what else do you need?

Quick Review: Flock Chicken Chips (Hattie B's flavor)

Not sure how quick I can make this review. I'm a HUGE fan of these and I'm trying to spread the love. But, I also know some people will be absolutely horrified by the entire concept. I'll start with a checklist in this choose-your-own-adventure review.

There are three distinct sets of people who will like these chips (or "crisps" as they're called in the UK): 

• Anyone who likes pork rinds or chicharrones
• Anyone who does NOT pick the skin off their fried chicken
• Keto and protein fans

If you're not in one of these groups, please move along. 

These Flock chips are literally fried chicken skin. Very similar to pork rinds, which are fried pig skins. I don't mean they are designed to appear like chicken skins - they ARE chicken skins that have been fried crispy and put into a bag. Yes, they are weird at first, but they are delicious. Addicting and delicious. They've got tons of protein and are low in carbs, which is why they're great for workout fiends. 

These delicious snacks are (right now) only sold online through their website store and they're only available in a case format - like 12. So you really have to either be wiling to take a gamble (which I AM), or have 11 other friends who are interested in trying them. The folks at Flock are targeting the small business or gyms that have their own vending machine or snack shop, which makes perfect sense. They've got a variety of flavors (including Cajun, plain, BBQ, and salt & vinegar), but I really love the partnership they did with Hattie B's Nashville Hot Chicken, one of the best inventions on the planet.

Just go to the website and try them out. Of if you have a small business, they're always running deals and specials, so support these fine folks. Brilliant idea and I'm so glad I took the gamble on these. I probably shouldn't tell you how many cases I've purchased over the past year, but it's .... more than two. Spend some money at Flock!!

Warning to purchasers, there is a silica pack in each bag - those little white pouch that keeps moisture content where it should be. There are small silica packs in each bag that are easily overlooked when you grab a handful of chips. Just want folks to be careful. Not even joking. 

Note to Flock Foods marketing: I'd be happy to be your spokesperson or shirtless marketing guy if you need me.

Quick Review: HoneyBun Iced Latte

I love HoneyBuns, so of course I had to try this. 

I do not encourage you to attempt this. NOT good. In my humble opinion. 

Quick Review: Sweet Corn Pringles

I like weird flavors, and this scratches that itch. I love these. It's like someone put butter directly in my mouth and you can also make duck lips with them. 

That being said, I've yet to find another person who can eat these. hahaha
