Fluffy, warm and buttery, biscuits are a delicious savory treat that aren't given as much credit as (I think) they deserve.  Whether eaten as a main dish, a side or a substitute for toast, biscuits are extremely versatile when it comes to brunch.  See below for our favorite biscuits for any occasion.

Best main-course biscuits:  Who needs pancakes when you can enjoy a biscuit brunch!  These are some of the best uses of biscuits as a main course at brunch:

Build-your-own biscuit sandwich at Peel's (egg, bacon, avocado, cheddar)

Best biscuits on-the-side:  Whether a freebie instead of a bread basket, or a paid-for side dish, these are some of the most delicious biscuits that are worth a bite... or three:

Basket of (free) biscuits to kick off brunch at Almond
Honey butter biscuits at The Dutch

Best biscuits as bread:  Who doesn't love being surprised with a 'crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside' biscuit in place of regular old toast?  Here are some of the best:

I recently took a trip to the 'Music City' aka Nashville, Tennessee. Aside from experiencing amazing live music, an incredible bike tour of the city, and some tasty local treats, I (of course) experienced true Nashville brunch!

The Famous Pancake Pantry

A family-run brunch haven in Hillsboro (a quick cab from downtown Nashville), Pancake Pantry (est. 1961) is known for its varieties of pancakes, unique French toast, and unforgiving line to get in (unless you go on off hours like me!)

The Local Marche Artisan Foods

Part-cafe, part marketplace with a European feel, Marche serves seasonal specialties and homemade pastries in the heart of East Nashville. Marche is a great stop if you want to get out of downtown tourist traps and experience great food where the locals go.

7/23/12 - We're so sad to hear that Syliva Woods of the famous Sylvia's in Harlem passed away at 86. 

Sylvia was behind one of the most unique brunches in the city: Sunday gospel brunch which brings together the best southern comfort food and gospel music to please - and stuff - the customers. 

So maybe it's a perfect time to go to Harlem to commemorate this amazing woman while enjoying one of the most unique brunches in NYC.

Meet Judy.  A Florida native, Judy moved to NYC after college to work in inventory planning at Macy's.  With the latest trends front and center every day, she naturally knows how to dress for one of her favorite activities:  brunching.

How would you describe your brunch fashion style?
Casual and comfortable, yet trendy and edgy at times.

What makes a look brunchable?
Easy to put on while I'm still half asleep, but doesn't look it!

What is your favorite brunch spot or dish in NYC and why?
I love La Giara because they have 'make-your-own' bloody Marys that are unlimited!  I like getting the bucket of ingredients to make my bloody nice and spicy.  The food is also delicious and the price is right.
