Topped with melty American cheese, this biscuit erupts with an explosion of flavors that led Guy Fieri to describe it as “redunka dunk.” When you bite into this dish, you get it all: crunch, tang, sweet, and heat—a true Southern comfort with a twist!
Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
At Emma Jean’s Holland Burger Cafe in Victorville, CA, the biscuits and sausage gravy take center stage as a beloved classic. This cafe is known for its fluffy, tender biscuits (due in part to the generous dash of baking powder and a light touch during the mix).
The rich, gravity-defying black pepper is an heirloom recipe that provides a perfect accompaniment to the fluffy biscuits. Dashed with just the right amount of black pepper, this balanced dish will have food fans begging for more.

Now, add the tangy kick of horseradish crema, the sharp bite of goat cheddar, and a sprinkle of green onions, and you’ve got a sandwich Guy Fieri himself hailed as “dynamite.”

Biscuits and Gravy Burrito
In the heart of Reno, Full Belly Deli serves a twist on a classic: the Biscuits and Gravy Burrito.
