In fact, that’s just how they describe their new Maple Street Biscuit Co., “inspired Southern comfort food with a modern twist.”https://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/showstory.php?Story_id=537841
It’s all biscuits — their own recipe, with a twist of maple syrup — turned into breakfast offerings as well as signature sandwiches, including “The Loaded Goat” with a fried chicken breast and a fried goat cheese medallion.
“We’ve been working on the perfect biscuit recipe,” Moore said Monday in the 2,400-square-foot space, which is being transformed into an almost 50-seat “community café.”
