The Biscuit - Having fun with food in Chapel Hill

Archive for the ‘Random’ category

For your weekend viewing pleasure, The Biscuit thought it might be valuable to throw up a little more content to go with Jordan’s coffee tasting.
Here are a few of his interesting notes, things he said, images he composed, after being on the brew for a few hours (click to blow them up and enjoy):

Too many cups of coffee

September 23rd, 2009

Hooray. The Biscuit is back in Chapel Hill and ready to eat. After a somewhat disappointing culinary experience in New York, where the ratio of bad restaurants to good ones was much higher than you’d expect, the eating opportunities in the Triangle are quite exciting. Plenty of places that opened over the summer are calling […]

It’s that time of the year

December 14th, 2008

School is out for about a month, and The Biscuit is up in Boston. Although there will be lots of food, good food, in the frigid North, The Biscuit will probably relax until January.
Don’t fret, though, because there are already some stories in the works: Hanging out at Walt’s Grill; Which college has the […]

What SPAM means for America

November 17th, 2008

So just a scattered, medium-winded post, some food for thought that starts with canned meat and ends with caloric burritos.
Apparently SPAM (Spiced Ham or Shoulder of Pork and Ham - the namesake is a big debate) is an economic indicator. Sales of the whateveritis meat product go up during hard economic times, bouts like these, […]

This past weekend The Biscuit headed to the N.C. State Fair in Raleigh to sample some of the fried delicacies the vendors have to offer. For the most part, you can fry anything, and it will be good. Just not Oreos.

Too much Tobasco could kill

September 29th, 2008

Drats. Looks like The Biscuit won’t be writing about spicy-food eating competitions (it was an idea) anytime soon.
Turns out an unlucky eater died after he challenged his sister’s boyfriend to a duel to see who had the most invincible mouth. Although doctors have not verified the cause of death, the man complained of unwavering […]

So this summer has been slightly dissapointing, full of apologies, from The Biscuit. All the travel and work and especially the lack of camera have made keeping a good blog a nightmare.

But we promise, really mean it, that this year is going to be more fun than ever once The Biscuit returns to Chapel Hill. […]

The Biscuit, a food snob?

July 10th, 2008

Well, well, The Biscuit has been doing some writing on the side lately and got a little piece published in The Georgetown Independent. It’s a student paper, but the school is home for the summer.
The Biscuit analyzes why we all (do we?) like chain restaurants: predictability, branding, affordability and reputation. The beginning is intentionally […]

Sorry Sorry Sorry for not being on here so often. As mentioned earlier, The Biscuit rows for the UNC crew team when he’s not eating. Well, because of that, he’s been traveling across the country (20 hours in cramped vans) and hasn’t had much computer time or many good meals (living on highway rest-stop fast […]

El gigante: Postponed

May 3rd, 2008

The Biscuit has to apologize for not posting recently. It’s been exam time in Chapel Hill, so everything is hectic.
There is the bad news that - for now - el gigante, the notorious 6 pound burrito, will have to wait to enter The Biscuit’s stomach. Though The Biscuit prepared for the past days to slay […]
