UPDATE: Starting Thurs, Nov 6 Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. will be serving out of Union Market, parting ways with EatsPlace.

Unless you’ve been too busy holding hands while apple picking in matching sweaters all Fall, you’ve probably picked up on the biggest buzzword: biscuit. Until recently, DC had been sorely lacking in the fluffy, flakey, buttery department. But this void has been filled by Mason Dixie Biscuit Co.

The biscuit slingers include Executive Chef Jason Gehring, Managing Chef Mo Cherry and CEO Ayeshah Abuelhiga. They’ve been super innovative in launching their concept through pop-ups, and now a residency at EatsPlace, which opened its doors this month.

Located in Park View (near Petworth), EatsPlace is a food incubator that allows up and coming concepts to be nurtured during short residencies. It doesn’t look like a science lab of sorts. Rather, it’s a cozy brick row home complete with seating, and a full bar. It’s there that you can try Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. Mon-Fri 7a-1:30p through the remainder of 2014.

Be sure to order The Best Thing on the Menu: Pulled Pork Biscuit Sandwich with Jalapeño Slaw. Bet you thought we’d say Fried Chicken Biscuit Sandwich. Well, surprise. Tender pulled pork piled high between two fluffy biscuits breeds the best of the BBQ and Southern comfort worlds. You can choose between three biscuit flavors for sandwiches, and in this case Ham & Jalapeño is a no-brainer.

Obviously, the fried chicken biscuit sandwich isn’t bad. Jason, after all, was the opening chef for Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken. But it’s one of those situations where there’s more fried matter than chicken meat, which somehow makes you feel even more guilty about your mid-morning heart attack snack. Last tip: Bring a team of hungry friends so you can try most of the menu.

Find Mason Dixie Biscuit Co inside EatsPlace at 3607 George Ave NW.
