Favorites: The Black Sheep’s sausage gravy & biscuits

One of the first Southern dishes to warm my Yankee heart was biscuits and gravy. Properly executed, such a meal represents my favorite aspect of cooking history: simple and cheap ingredients, used out of necessity, transformed into delicious and satisfying nourishment. Like other deceptively easy foods, however, careless hands too often undermine the image of this bread and sauce breakfast. The sausage gravy and biscuits ($6) at The Black Sheep make a proper example with fresh, buttery biscuits and a sausage gravy that’s never gloppy. You won’t leave hungry.
