Story Narrative:

Biscuits And Gravy, Liberal, Missouri

"I'm originally from a little tiny town called Liberal, Missouri, it's got a population of around 700 people. And one of the things that we have passed down from generation to generation is the recipe for biscuits and gravy. That's a really traditional down home country food here. Everyone has the best recipe for that. At one point I actually remember hearing a couple of old ladies fighting. They had both had their recipes for biscuits and gravy passed down from their grandmothers.

The traditional sausage gravy on a huge buttermilk biscuit and they were really, really getting to the point that they were in a major argument over whose was better and trying to actually have a contest to see who liked whose better. So it was kind of funny to hear those little old ladies complaining about it at the small restaurant that I worked at at the time. I thought we were going to get into a knock down drag out about it."
