Biscuit Love is an American restaurant chain in Nashville, Tennessee founded by husband and wife team, Karl and Sarah Worley.[1] [2] [3] The company specializes in southern-inspired breakfast and lunch dishes that are locally sourced and made from scratch.[4]

Overview

After attending culinary school together at Johnson & Wales University, Karl and Sarah Worley initially opened Biscuit Love as a food truck in the spring of 2012 with just three items on the menu.[3] The food truck gained a devoted following and widespread acclaim, and the Worleys opened their first brick and mortar location in The Gulch neighborhood of Nashville in January 2015 under a new partnership with Fresh Hospitality, a restaurant investment group.[5] [6] This new location featured an expanded menu with a wide variety of southern-inspired breakfast and lunch dishes.[7]

In June 2017, Biscuit Love opened a second location in Nashville’s Hillsboro Village neighborhood.[8] [9]

In January 2018, a third location was added in the historic downtown section of Franklin, Tennessee.[10]

In August 2019, Karl and Sarah Worley opened a new restaurant called ‘Za Wood-fired Pizza in the same building as their Hillsboro Village location of Biscuit Love.[11] [12]

Reception

The flagship Biscuit Love location in The Gulch has become a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike, with lines regularly extending out the main door and down the block.[4] [2] [1]

In 2015, Biscuit Love won Andrew Zimmern's “Munchies: People’s Choice Food Award” for Best Food Truck.[13] Later that year, the East Nasty was named “Best Sandwich of 2015” by Bon Appétit.[14] [15] In 2016, Food Network star Alton Brown said that Biscuit Love’s shrimp and grits were the best he had ever eaten.[16]
