Last week, The Biscuit recommended Don Jose Tienda but said it might be a little difficult for those who don’t speak Spanish.
If you want to make sure you’re getting what you ordered (I asked for lettuce, not lengua, so why is there a tongue in my taco?) or just want to impress workers at […]

There is no place consistently cheaper and tastier than Country Junction in Carrboro. Breakfast is just $2.99 (unfortunately up from the usual $2.29 of a few weeks ago), and the most expensive lunch option, complete with an all you can eat buffet, will cost you no more than $4.99.

Though it’s only open from […]

Sugarland, a boutique bakery, just opened on Franklin Street. Unfortunately, it showcases not much more than overpriced baked goods, blank walls and a slower-than-cement staff.
Considering how much their specialty, the cupcake, costs - upwards of $3 - The Biscuit has found a little gem in Carrboro where you can eat a wholesome meal for that […]

Correction: Sorry to do this to you guys, especially when most of the readers won’t make it to Boston anytime soon, but The Biscuit made a mistake.
Considering yesterday’s post, you can still buy chocolates from the Belgian Truffle House, but the actual store doesn’t exist anymore. They have closed down and only sell their […]

A colorful, little convenience store in Carrboro might be a little inconvenient for those who don’t speak Spanish, but it offers everyone food muy rico, an inventory muy diverso and an atmosphere muy auténtico.

Customers can eat traditional […]

So, for readers out there who travel, The Biscuit will let you in on a little treat.
If you’re ever in Boston, go without thinking straight to the Belgian […]

While we’re on the subject of chocolate, let’s clarify one thing: Although dark chocolate is ideal for tasting, milk chocolate is just as delicious and gratifying. Some highbrow chocolate tasters may only review dark, but when it comes down to sitting back, relaxing and feeling comfortable with a smooth, sweet, melt-y substance in your […]

For obvious reasons, I don’t think a mix of olives, tobacco, cookie dough, cheese, honey, flowers, raisins, oranges, grapefruit, tannin and salt would please anyone’s – except maybe a Fear Factor contestant’s – palette. It seems more like a torturous blend of tastes or a recipe for the reckless.
Surprisingly, though, they’re all flavors people taste […]

Welcome to The Biscuit, a blog about having fun with food. We’re going to look at nourishment from every angle - restaurant, chef, farmer, patron, farmer, student and more.
Hopefully you’ll learn a lot of interesting facts about food all around, but be especially excited if you live in the Triangle area of N.C. We’ll […]
