Odd, because I first had it at a place just outside of Wisconsin Dells. Is Paul Bunyan’s (“Home of the LUMBERJACK Breakfast!”) still there? There was another place in Sawyer that had a similar menu.
Ugh. Flour and grease over bread, no thanks.
I got chewed out like you wouldn’t believe for doing this as a kid. My dad’s family thought “pan wiping” was the trashiest thing you could do.
Actually, it’s called “soppin’.” (Here. You need another biscuit to sop up all that gravy.)
Ah, but less money spent on altering the purchased gown means more money for sausage and bacon and good half-and-half later.
Holy nine ultraviolet hells, I’d forgotten about B&G. Here in the land of ice and snow I have no choice but to make it myself from scratch; I’d best get to larnin’! Hungry as hell for a big old helping now…
If I could eat it :(. Stupid intestine!
I’m assuming you feel the same way about mashed potatoes and gravy?
Never been a fan. Biscuits that need gravy aren’t worth eating, IMHO.
Yeah boggled my mind the first few times I saw it advertised over there.
I would like to have that man’s phone number, please. 'Cause he’s not on any of the dating sites. Those guys all want “thin to athletic” women. Maybe I should put “Can make biscuits and gravy” in my profile.
Not at all. i take a mug of cold coffee and boiled egg
I might try making biscuits and gravy at home if I didn’t have easy access to butter and sausages with casings.
But as it is, if I want a delicious greasy coating on my biscuits, I can put butter on them. And if I want the delicious taste of sausage grease, I can eat a sausage with a casing that keeps the grease sealed inside. That leaves the above-mentioned library paste components, which I prefer to do without.
I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and actually have). One of my favorite things in the world.
Hell yeah I want some! 
I have had it in Southern resturants where it was heavenly, and Northern ones where it was inedible. I’ve had it at truckstops in the middle of nowhere that it was absolutely a plate of ambrosia! These days I make it at home, mostly. But it’s pretty much a weekend breakfast, as you’ll need some couch-time afterwards.
Not to hijack, but has anyone else noticed the similiarity of B&G with the old military standby SOS? Shit on a shingle, or more politely, creamed chipped beef on toast probably goes back to the revolutionary war.
And for the record, yup; I may have to make this (B&G) this weekend! Thanks for the great memories OP.
It’s not that they need gravy. The biscuit is merely a vehicle for the sausage gravy, much like a bun is a vehicle for a burger and fixin’s. And really, what IS a biscuit? I would submit that it’s little more than a browned dumpling, yet few people object to dumplings in their stew. My biscuits are so light and flaky I’ve actually hesitated to put gravy over them, but gluttony always sets in.
As a side note, my father used to put gravy on his pancakes, much to the horror and disgust of my mother. His reply was always: Who’s eatin’ this, you or me? 
Yankees :rolleyes:
It is, indeed. However, as a kid, I only went to the Dells once, and we didn’t eat at Paul Bunyan’s. I think that biscuits & gravy were originally more of a Southern dish; they seem to be more broadly available these days, but, at least when I was a kid in the 1970s, they were pretty alien in Wisconsin.
I’d never had this nor seen it until I was 18 and we went on a class trip to Disney World. We went to some cowboy park for breakfast and it was on the menu. I was enamored!
Since then I’ve never had it anywhere but a buffet. Not something I’d have as my main meal but as a little treat alongside more of a big breakfast, cool!
I’d never even consider making it at home. A heaping helping of starch and fat does not do my body very good.
