12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.

How a tiny sandwich shop by Charlotte got Michelin's attention, and why you should go

A snug sandwich shop near Charlotte with only 14 seats inside and almost as many picnic tables outside made this year’s Michelin Guide American South as a recommended restaurant, surprising foodie followers used to seeing avant garde tasting menus and fine dining steakhouses on the list. But probably no one in North Carolina was more caught off guard than the owners of Pump Social , Rachael and AJ Donner, who opened the restaurant in a former gas station in Concord just last August . She thought the September email sent by the French tire company’s little red travel guide was spam. At least she did until checking with friends whose Nashville restaurant was listed as a Bib Gourmand last year by “sheepishly” sending them a screenshot — and hearing they believed it was real. “I keep thinking, ‘How did we? Like, how would they even know?’ I don’t know. I have no idea,” Donner said of the whole experience. ”This was never something that was on our radar — ever,” she said. “And then being open a year, and we got that email. Even if it’s just a recommendation. I mean, I’m so happy to be even included,” she said.
