Thought try to bump a few of scone's threads in the Food Forum. He contributed several. Many of you may know he was a cook at Cracker Barrell. He had PM me several times about food and dishes.
He will really be missed. May he rest in peace.

Always wondered why Cracker Barrel didn't serve Sausage Gravy and Biscuits - my all time favorite breakfast. Their "Sawmill Gravy" ain't hittin' on much. My wife makes the best Sausage Gravy and Biscuits and she fixes it every Fathers Day, because I don't eat breakfast or lunch routinely.
