A Jackson Institution: Brent's Drugs

The nostalgic diner, Brent's Drugs, has been a Jackson institution since the 1940s. The biscuits anchor many of the restaurant's most popular breakfast plates. They are thick, tender, and sturdy enough to sustain a mountain of sausage gravy or to hold together a breakfast sandwich packed with eggs and sausage. They're made using traditional methods and baked until lightly golden on the outside while staying soft inside. Plop a dollop of butter on its warm, crispy top for a golden volcano of added melted goodness.
