I bought this book in the Nashville, TN, airport last May and finally got around to finishing it. It's kind of a travel guide and recipe book all rolled into one. I love biscuits and this book is full of biscuits! It names the best biscuits from all the Southern states and it was pretty exciting to see that I have eaten at several of the places that they listed. I'm dying to try some of the recipes--like "cathead" biscuits--so called because when you make them they are as big as a cat head! I'd like to find the documentary that the author made for PBS sometime around 2006. I bet it is a hoot to watch...and I could be eating biscuits while doing so!
