Another highlight of one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Portland. Today I’m all about a Pine State Biscuit because it also happens that the second week in September is National Biscuits and Gravy week. I’ve been a fan of Pine State Biscuits for many years, especially since I live only a few blocks from the Portland Farmers Market at PSU on Saturday and they have a stand there – I consider it my reward if I shchlep down there early enough on Saturday that the line is reasonable.
There are two ways I prefer the biscuits. My favorite Pine State Biscuit breakfast sandwich, a tempestuous guilty pleasure of a too rich breakfast that can get scarfed down in 10 minutes it’s so delicious, even though it contains probably half my calorie allotment for the whole day, is the Reggie. Fried chicken, bacon & cheese topped with gravy between a buttermilk biscuit. Make it a Reggie Deluxe and add an egg to this, which is the Thrilllist pick for one of the top 21 breakfast sandwiches in the country.
For a less messy version, sans gravy is good too…
When I’m trying to be more reasonable, I just go for a biscuit rather than a sandwich but order it with the pimento cheese spread to give some tang to the creamy softness of the biscuit
Or, get it just with gravy – they have a sausage gravy and a vegetarian mushroom gravy for you to choose from.
Besides their market stand at the Portland Farmers Market on Saturdays, Pine Street Biscuit also has brick and mortar locations at 22nd and NE Alberta, 11th and SE Division, and NE Schuyler. The brick and mortar locations are open every day for breakfast through mid day, and then Thurs-Sun at the NE Alberta and SE Division locations are also open in the evenings until 9 PM for breakfast for dinner.
Where do you get your biscuits in Portland? How do you like your biscuits?
This is the second of my favorite breakfast sandwich highlights, the first was from Portland Penny Diner.
