Biscuit Takeover

In the food pyramid of Kristen, biscuits are definitely one of 5 food groups.  I adore those belly-sinkers and will travel a bit for them.  Tonight, it was to Artifact Coffee in Hampden.  A few months ago, they held a restaurant takeover in which Toki Underground in DC, came in and sold their homemade Ramen for 4 days only.  I unfortunately found out about it after the fact, so no ramen for me.  

After the success of that takeover, they decided to hold another one.  Luckily for me I heard about this one in time. Tiffany Kyle, who owns 4 restaurants specializing in biscuits.  And oh my goodness, has she got it down to a science. Absolutely delicious!

On the menu were about 5 different biscuit sandwiches, and about 10 different toppings for the biscuits, a few sides and 3 desserts.  But honestly, who needs dessert when you can just have chocolate sauce on the biscuit?!  There were 3 of us, so we all tried a different sandwich: Fried chicken, with spicy honey and pickles, Breakfast with scrapple, dippy egg, and jam and mine with ham, cheese and greens.  Mine was to die for and I would have fallen for the chicken too if there weren't any pickles on it.  I didn't try the breakfast one because - eww scrapple!  You also had the choice of type of biscuit: creme fraiche, sweet potato or gluten free.  We all went for the creme fraiche - how can you go wrong with a classic?  Then for dessert there were more biscuits (don't judge - this was a once in a lifetime biscuit-fest!)  We had tasso gravy (not bad), apple butter (kinda like apple sauce), honey butter (could have used more honey and less butter) and last but not least, chocolate sauce (To. Die. For.).

All in all, it was an absolutely perfect evening and I can't wait for the next event at this cute little coffee shop!  I probably won't be able to eat again until Sunday as I'm pretty darn stuffed right now.  But if the next takeover is anywhere near as amazing as this one, please count me in!
