While traveling in North Carolina this weekend, I stopped in the town of Hickory for lunch. I had hoped to stumble across some hickory smoked bacon while in Hickory, but unfortunately I had no such luck (very disappointing). So instead, I ended up at the Southern chain food restaurant, Bojangles.
I obviously subscribe to the theory that everything tastes better with bacon. But I also think bacon too often plays a “supporting role” in meals rather than being the primary focus. So imagine my excitement when I saw a “bacon biscuit” on the menu. That’s right – the bacon biscuit is a sandwich comprised of few crunchy strips of bacon nestled inside a delicious buttery biscuit. Nothing else. No eggs, no cheese, nothing. And what’s even better is that Bojangles serves the bacon biscuit all day long – it is not just banished to the breakfast menu.
But the best thing about the Bojangles bacon biscuit is that it is CHEAP – only 99 cents. For $3.83 I had two biscuits, Botato rounds (little round hashbrowns – also very delicious) and a medium drink. What a deal!
