Biscuits Star in Orso's New Brunch
When ChefWill Artley went to meet his then-fiance's parents in Mississippi a few years ago, he came across a place called Mary Lou's Biscuit Bar. Located in an old shed, they serve biscuits and fried pie... and that's it. (And yet our mother-in-law would still have trouble making up her mind.) Will says they're some of the best biscuits he's ever had, and he's been thinking about brunch ever since. When his regulars at Pizzeria Orso in Falls Church started asking if he'd be willing to open for brunch, his answer was instantly yes. But he wanted to offer his brunchers something fun and different, and he wanted to base it on his biscuits. Thus was born the Biscuit Board.
