"Chef and owner Nicole Jones makes some of the finest buttermilk biscuits around D.C. at her cafe in Del Ray. A plain biscuit runs just over $3, and customers can build their own sandwiches with options like bacon, ham, sausage, cheddar, poached or baked eggs, and sorghum butter. Her “not-so-classic” fried chicken biscuit comes with benne seed tahini, hot sauce, honey, red onion, and za’atar. Breakfast is available Tuesday through Sunday." - Tierney Plumb, Stephanie Carter
