Winning in these categories is like winning the heart of the American South… and everywhere else where people crave homestyle comfort. If the Weekly had a pimento cheese category, it would be the trifecta. No matter: You can’t go wrong with cream gravy over a fat biscuit. Nor can you resist the crackle of a golden‑brown crust over juicy white meat. Here’s where it gets better. Not only does The Butter House serve a remarkable chicken sandwich, they also prepare – get this – a chicken biscuit. That’s right, their fried chicken between biscuit halves! That is the trifecta.
