/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Hey guys, so tomorrow morning I'm gonna try and make biscuits and gravy for the first time. I've got everything i think I need to make some buttermilk biscuits (gonna follow Chef John's recipe) and stuff to make my sausage gravy.

Anybody have any tips for me? Or suggestions? Thanks!

Alabama here.

I guess biscuits-and-gravy is our signature dish, or maybe just biscuits with some kind of sasuage/chicken/bacon, etc. People say there's barbecue here with some kind of special "white sauce", but I've never seen it; actually usually the bbq is shit around here.

There are some good soul food joints, but the food there is not really specific to Alabama. Though neither is biscuits-and-gravy. I'd say b-and-g are really only good if they're made well, which they usually aren't, so I'm not the biggest fan, plus they're carb and calorie bombs.

tl;dr Alabama is a shitthole
