I just recently moved back to Louisiana and one of the things I missed was biscuits and gravy.

I think the last time I had a dish for breakfast was the morning of the Ole Miss game at "Another Broken Egg" in BR.

I live in NOLA now and would love some recommendations in town that have "good" B&G.. I don't need the "BEST", but just some place that doesn't frick it up, ya know?

TIA.

It's ridiculously easy to make.

Brown breakfast sausage, remove from pan, add butter, use flour to make blonde roux, add milk SLOWLY, season, return meat.

That sounds awful. Too many places take a trying-to-hard approach with B&G.

The gravy is easy... you need an awesome biscuit though.

Surreys on Magazine has a really good one. I believe their biscuits and sausage are both made in house.

(On a side note, I had their shrimp bisque on Friday and it was hands down the best I have ever had)

I think Ruby Slipper does B&G well.

I am gonna take heat for this, but I love the chicken and biscuit/gravy dish at Somethin' Else Cafe' on Conti. The service sucks, but I like their breakfast.

How can gravy and andouille be awful.

I've made andouille and gravy a few times. Not much different than a sausage gravy.

I agree considering its basically a coarse type of sausage.

I believe a couple keys are butter with the roux, cook it enough to get the raw flour taste out and use a lot of black pepper.

I prefer mushrooms to sausage.

butter is not needed; the grease from cooking the bacon or sausage is fine..

The best white gravy is made with bacon grease.

I'm sure you'd be surprised to hear this isn't true.

There might be "a place" that has them, but few and far between outside of the south.

Yeah my point was meant to be cook the flour enough. To many think it has to be white and don't cook it long enough. Whatever fat you use.

I grew up with what is called on here a "counrty gravy". We make a peanut butter colored roux with seasoned flour (usually left over from frying a protien) and add stock or water to form the gravy. That's my go to method for chicken, pork chops, squirrel, buzzard or biscuits.
