New York Times Best Restaurant List of 2023 - Bomb Biscuit Co
You can find biscuits everywhere in the South, but you’ll find only one with the lineage of Bomb Biscuits, where the former software engineer Erika Council pays homage to a long line of Black women who cook, including her grandmother Mildred Cotton Council, who opened the enduring soul food restaurant Mama Dip’s Country Kitchen in Chapel Hill, N.C. At this little brick storefront in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood, the thing to get is the Glori-Fried Chicken Biscuit. It’s built with a thigh that has been marinated in spiced buttermilk, then fried until it’s crunchy. A dip in a thin, hot honey sauce is good, but the lemon-pepper version is her love letter to Atlanta.
