We Found 11 Ohio Spots Where Biscuits And Gravy Make Breakfast Feel Special

One Columbus kitchen calls its biscuits and gravy Frog Eyes. I had to read that menu name twice before it clicked, and now I can’t stop grinning about it. The wordplay doesn’t stop there. A Dayton restaurant skips sausage gravy entirely and pours Cajun chicken gravy over a buttermilk biscuit.

Jimmie Lou’s makes a triumphant return to Cincinnati, and it’s worth the wait

After months of anticipation, award-winning chef Jeff Harris finally revived his New Orleans restaurant Jimmie Lou’s when it opened to the public on Tuesday night. The prior iteration of Jimmie Lou’s opened in 2021 as a stall inside the Oakley Food Hall. It was the first solo venture for Harris, a Louisiana native who first made a name for himself as the sous chef at Emeril Lagasse’s flagship restaurant before heading to the Queen City after Hurricane Katrina. In 2022, he opened his Global South-focused restaurant Nolia in Over-the-Rhine to much fanfare — Harris and Nolia have three James Beard nominations, among many other awards — but customers kept asking when he’d return to his roots.
