Let's talk about biscuits

Biscuits. Being from the South, I suppose I could consider myself a connoisseur of the southern's substitute to sour dough bread.

In the South, biscuits tend to punch your palate with butter and honey, and then are served with extra butter and honey on the side (yum!).

This is my second visit to The Elite Cafe (on the historically jazzy Fillmore St.) and I have to say, these are my favorite biscuits, anywhere. They've taken what we love from biscuits and short-bread cookies and made a fantastic hybrid. Served warm, they're delightfully crumbly instead of flaky, and fantastically doughy in the center. Without any added sweetness of honey or sugar,  you notice and appreciate the texture of the biscuit and the hard work grandma spent all those years perfecting the recipe - genius!

They're served with 'strawberry butter' - I think it's a mix of strawberry puree, butter, and a little bit of cream cheese. A really tasty and interesting compliment to these wonderful biscuits. So go get some! If you're walking by and aren't hungry, pick up the dough and bake it yourself later - yes, they are that good.

Elite Cafe does serve other menu items besides biscuits. A Cajun establishment, they are known for their brunch; but they do have quite a few alternatives for the less adventurous eater. They are also known for their deviled eggs and cajun fries. I haven't had one thing I didn't enjoy here, so, go check it out!
