February, right around now, happens to be The Biscuit’s birthday (the blog and the blogger, coincidentally). To celebrate, we thought we’d eat a whole load of cupcakes from the two boutique bakeries in town, Sugarland and Bliss, then figure out which we liked better.

Turns out, this was a true rumble, and picking a winner wasn’t […]

If you want to please your valentine and support workers’ rights, stop by UNC’s Pit Thursday, Friday or Saturday from 11 to 2 p.m. and buy some chocolate.

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.
