Natchez, MS - Biscuits and Blues


What was left after our first round of biscuits. 

Had the opportunity to visit Natchez, MS this weekend chaperoning the Ponchatoula High School Key Club at the Key Club District Convention and yes, we had to sample some of the great food of this historic city.  Our first stop was a restaurant called Biscuits and Blues.  You guessed it - they are known for their biscuits and live Blues music (at night).  We were there for lunch so we only got to sample the biscuits.  As you can see from the half eaten basket of biscuits - I could not wait to eat before I took the picture.  The biscuits are as good as they look, but what makes them extra special is the butter and orange marmalade spread they serve with - delicious.  The best part is they send them to your table free to start your meal.  I also ordered one of the lunch plate specials - fried catfish.  It came with three sides.  I chose baked beans, corn casserole, and macaroni and cheese.  The fish was good.  The baked beans were very good and the other two sides were just average.  My fellow Key Club advisor, Shane, ordered beignets covered in crawfish and mushroom sauce.  She had ordered it on a previous trip and was looking forward to having it again.  It looked delicious.  I think I will try it the next time - I hope there is a next time.  Those biscuits were too good.
