Ahh… you guys are just jaded. “Whatev”, would be waking up every morning of your life and getting plain biscuits with some Honey, Jam, or Sorghum/mollasses for the rest of your life, which is really the historical reality behind biscuits. Biscuits is to gravy as an egg is to an omelette… Yummm. My Dad eventually got tired of biscuits and gravy every morning growing up on it… but I imagine it was a very bland thing mostly without the Sausage or meat aspect… maybe some rendered salt pork… I think it depends on how good your gravy is.
I ate there once, in the late '90s I think. It was bad. Very, very bad. And I rarely say that about food. I had heard great things about the Crazy Otto’s breakfast from a coworker. The best thing I could say about it was, it was big. I had pancakes that tasted metallic and a coworker had ham and eggs and the ham was cold with purple streaks in it. Maybe I should have had the biscuits and gravy, instead. 
My most memorable biscuits and gravy was at an RV campground in the north side of Ouray, Colorado. They had little chunks of thinly sliced ham in the gravy. The gravy was thick and seasoned with black pepper. The biscuits were soft and thick. The ambiance didn’t hurt, either. Sitting at a picnic table next to a stream in the mountains on a clear, still morning eating good biscuits and gravy. That’s the ticket.
It certainly can be. Bland gravy is like carpenter’s glue without the flavor. I always add sage and pepper to my sausage gravy, and top the end product with an over-easy egg.
Ewwwww…
I freakin’ hate gravy. Always have since I was a kid. I’m a butter girl. I want butter on my mashed potatoes, not gravy. I don’t want gravy on my meat–if it’s too dry to stand on it’s own, I don’t want it. The only “gravy” I can stand is tomato sauce on pasta (Italians call it gravy)…
Biscuits are another story. Nice. But with butter… 
Out! Out of this thread right now, blass feemer!
One of my favorite foods in the world. But it has to be done right. You’re best off getting your B&G at an independent, locally-owned restaurant where they know what they’re doing and understand B&G eaters. Chain restaurants often have decent biscuits and good gravy, and then ruin everything because the corporate bean-counters with their portion-control policies don’t allow the cooks to put enough gravy on the biscuits. You should never, never run out of gravy before you run out of biscuit!
Pioneer Country Gravy mix. Best country gravy mix I’ve ever found. I wasn’t sure if that was the same stuff I’ve used in restaurants, because the packaging is different - the restaurant version comes in much plainer packaging, the logo looks different, and the bags are portioned to make a gallon at a time. Fortunately, I happen to have one of the restaurant-version boxes sitting here (a friend who is also a cook used it to wrap a gift for me), and it has the same “…since 1851…” slogan on it that the “home version” has, so I’m pretty sure it’s the same stuff. Delicious.
According to friends who have cooked at Denny’s, the gravy there comes premade, in a can.
If possible, and if you can find out, avoid the B&G at any restaurant that uses TRIO gravy mix. That stuff is tasteless crap.
I had biscuits and gravy instead of toast with my breakfast this morning. There is a local place that does a good line in breakfasts, so we hit them every weekend we can. They know how to make gravy, they give you plenty of it, and the biscuits are good to very good. I don’t want to know how many calories or grams of fat I consumed this morning, but every so often, you have to indulge a bit.
