Behind the Biscuits
After dreaming about biscuits one night (literally) – Sarah had an idea to make THE best biscuits in town. She added some damn good fried chicken, smoked & cured bacon and insanely good Southern-style sides. After working on it for a few weeks, she came up with a plan to host the first Hot Box Biscuit Club brunch.
The very first pop-up in November 2016 was filled with family and friends gathered to support and eat! And eat they did. Way too much food! Everyone sat family-style and shared plates of biscuits, homemade jams, butters & pimento cheese. Fried green tomatoes with homemade ranch. A buttermilk biscuit with a super crispy piece of fried chicken drowning in hot sauce and honey butter. Homemade garlic dill pickles and pickled okra. Ridiculously creamy mac & cheese. The best collard greens ever. And buttermilk pie with cranberries and white chocolate crunch. Something magical happened… Hot Box Biscuit Club was born. From there, the pop-ups gained popularity each month. The first pop-up held 50 people and by the 3rd month, we were answering over 350 email requests for tickets. The next 2 years each pop-up grew as people returned to the pop-ups and brought friends, made new ones as they passed biscuits to each other.
