It’s time the biscuit had its moment in Los Angeles

Is L.A. a biscuit town? We’re quickly becoming a pizza town. It’s definitely a bagels town, too. One could successfully argue that the collective appreciation for carbohydrates is on the upswing.

There are some really great biscuits here. And there have been, for a while now.

David Lefevre’s cheddar bacon and chive biscuits at Manhattan Beach Post, based on his mother’s recipe, may be one of the most beloved dishes in all of Los Angeles. The cheddar jalapeño biscuits from Lucky Bird at Grand Central Market are a work of art. Everson Royce Bar is arguably making the flakiest biscuits in town. The biscuit bakes at Honey’s Kettle in Culver City are among my favorite breakfast items ever created.

And a recent slew of new biscuit offerings is nudging me even further toward the realization that yes, L.A. is a biscuit town. Indeed, it’s a great biscuit town.
