So cutting straight down and then not messing with it, you're going to get the highest potential rise from the biscuit, no matter what style you're making. Yes.
That's interesting. You know, and they do rise in the oven, but like they're not, you know, miracle workers.
Yeah.
Always good questions. Always mediocre answers. No, I'm just kidding. The producer of our podcast, our colleague, Rossi Anastapulo, has been, I mean, she's been haranguing us about sports lately. She and I have had a lot of conversations about college basketball as of late. And I know that Rossi's a huge fan of... the Tar Heels, which doesn't mean anything to me, but means a great deal to her.
And, you know, when we were talking about this biscuit episode, Rossi said, like, I have a story for you that ties in my love of the Tar Heels and your love of biscuits. And so I told her I didn't want to hear the story in advance. I wanted her to come onto the podcast and tell us the story about the strange union between basketball and biscuits. Rossi, you're up.
Oh, okay.
I mean, listen to that crowd.
Well, I mean, I don't know. I guess the whole point of this segment is that I just tell you what I feel from the heart.
Which is that, yes, it's great. What's the trend?
I think you might judge, but you don't listen. I know a lot of people like a biscuit sandwich.
But not me, David, not me.
I don't think that biscuits are the optimal vessel for a breakfast sandwich.
Also, I think a little... A chicken biscuit. I think it's a bad choice.
Not from a flavor perspective. Not from a flavor perspective. I mean, I just think it's difficult because what I love so much about biscuits is that they have this tenderness. And so, I mean, how many fried chicken biscuit sandwiches have you eaten that have like held together as you're eating them?
They like fall apart. The biscuit starts to crumble. Like, give me an English muffin. Okay. I mean, I want to eat a biscuit and I want to eat an egg sandwich. I want to eat a biscuit and I want to eat fried chicken, but I don't need them to be together.
It's just me though, you know?
Oh, that's a good question. So, you know, about once a year, I get this bee in my bonnet to make donuts at home.
I know. It's like a, you know, it's its own holiday, donut day. I don't know, because it's a pain. I mean, fried dough is always good, but fried dough is always a pain to make at home. But a freshly fried cake donut, I prefer cake donuts to yeast donuts. Just another bonus Jess opinion for you. But, you know, fresh from the oil, like a little nutmeg in the dough where they're sort of craggy.
And I don't even roll them in sugar or anything. I just like them straight up.
So this could be the weekend. This could be cake donut weekend. I mean, yes, effort, but the reward, high reward. Talk about a way to win friends and influence people.
