"Celebrity: Emily Saliers Started in 1993 with investment from Indigo Girls bandmate Emily Saliers, this brunch classic is now all over the Southeast but is still very much cherished by locals who flock to their favorite Flying Biscuit restaurant for their signature creamy grits, oatmeal pancakes, and of, course, their sugar-coated biscuits. Don’t sleep on the apple butter, which harmonizes nicely with the doughy biscuit. Whether you’re a meat eater or vegan, looking for a light bite or something so indulgent that you’ll be set to hibernate the rest of the weekend (eyes on you queso-covered fried chicken and chorizo hash), there’s something for everyone here. Plus, breakfast at all their casual and loudly colorful venues is the perfect way to ease into the weekend." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams
