norfolk | handsome biscuit

If you're ever in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area, you must eat at Handsome Biscuit. When my friend Lisa found out I was visiting Lance in Virginia Beach, she told me I must try Handsome Biscuit. I passed the recommendation along to Lance and his friends had been telling him the same thing. So during my visit we made it a point to fit it into our schedule. Handsome Biscuit is located in a random (somewhat shady) area of Ghent in Norfolk. It's just a little building with some indoor tables and a small outdoor porch. Even though we heard it was usually crowded, it was pretty empty when we visited so we snag a table in the corner. If you're thinking these biscuits look good, you're right. They were sooooooooooooo delicious. Lance and I both order the Hella Fitzgerald with fried Chicken with bacon, cheddar, and red eye sausage gravy and shared a side of hash browns. The Hella Fitzerald was AMAZING. I had just eaten at Hominy Grill in Charleston where I ordered a similar meal (fried chicken and biscuits and gravy) but while it was also very delicious, it wasn't nearly as yummy as Handsome Biscuit. I definitely want to try all the other biscuits the next time I visit. (Lance also ordered a sweet potato soda which sounds disgusting but was surprising delicious and light. )
