Flaky biscuits piled high with fried chicken, eggs, and cheese
"If your ideal breakfast involves pork sausage, fluffy scrambled egg, and cheese drizzled with a bit of jerk-seasoned honey and sandwiched on a crumbly, buttery biscuit, you’ve come to the right place. Harlem Biscuit Company, run by chef Melvin “Boots” Johnson, is a one-stop shop for decadent biscuit breakfast sandwiches that are worth getting up early for." - Eater Staff
"“Nothing's better than a biscuit. And they have different kinds. They've got chicken with eggs with, you know, spicy, different kinds of biscuits. I just love it so much.”" - brennan carley
"In November 2020, this Southern biscuit spot pop-up opened as a daytime operation in Harlem. And ever since then, it’s been scratching the neighborhood’s itch for a casual place to get flaky biscuit sandwiches that can hold up to any combination of eggs and protein. For that perfect balance of buttery bread and meaty filling in every bite, we recommend going with something simple like the classic bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese sandwich. But if just want to eat buttermilk, chive cheddar, or everything biscuit on its own, order the trio with some truffle butter spread." - nikko duren
"Like so many great food ideas hatched during the pandemic, this one just couldn’t wait. Chef Melvin Boots opened his Southern biscuit spot last November and is currently operating a daytime pop-up out of the cocktail bar 67 Orange Street. While he looks for a permanent home, Boots is scratching a big Harlem itch: a casual place to get perfectly executed biscuit sandwiches (to stay or go) that can hold up to any combination of eggs and protein - the classic bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese, a.k.a the Bodega, is a good starting point. If it’s just biscuits you want, make sure you try the black truffle flavor, which is especially delicious with a little extra butter. photo credit: Dane Isaac Food Rundown Langston The naturally crooked piece of crispy fried chicken that comes with this sandwich doesn’t quite fit the biscuit, making you wonder if everything will hold up. But hold up it does. The sweet buttermilk biscuit is equal parts solid and flaky, and the chili garlic honey sauce, pickles, and onion add welcome depth. Bodega The chive cheddar biscuit is great on its own—perfectly buttery and flaky, enlivened with bits of chives and cheddar. But add warm eggs, bacon, and cheese, and you’ve got a solid reason to plan your Sunday around this meal." - The Curious Uptowner
"I saw Melvin “Boots” Johnson, the chef and owner of Harlem Biscuit Company, post a video saying he walked into a neighborhood vaccination site with a doctor over the weekend only to be told restaurant workers and taxi drivers had been “revoked” from access until further notice; he called the situation “completely confusing,” said he searched online dozens of times for appointments, and emphasized the urgency of getting vaccinations for himself and his staff as indoor dining approached." - Erika Adams
