MOVE OVER BISCUITS... There's a New Salad "Grazer" in Town at Maple Street Biscuit

​I consider myself a salad snob. Maple Street Biscuit Company makes noshing on lettuce, combined with various textured ingredients, taste like a party in your mouth.  Although they made a name for themselves with their decadent, gravy enhanced biscuit creations, I'm very excited to have healthier options at this creative, local establishment.  What makes dining here even cooler? Well, aside from their twangy country music, that reminds me of a trip to see Disney's "Country Bear Jamboree," another magical touch is their "Question of the month." It's very personal, and interactive. I love placing my order, and being asked nostalgic or fun, conversation prompting questions, such as: My favorite children's book, last song heard, or favorite band. Such a great ice-breaker when meeting with clients too. 
    Another wonderful part of this dining experience is eating their Mason jar packed salads, and emptying it out on a paper lined, silver tray. The "Grazer” is my absolute favorite: Fresh spinach, sprinkled with chopped pecans, strawberries, avocado, and goat cheese. Drizzled with their homemade balsamic dressing, and complimented by a tiny veggie biscuit, with just enough kick and veggies to “justify” the carbs.  
    Whether I add thick pecan wood smoked bacon or roasted chicken, this salad always gives me a five star vibe for satisfaction, taste, and presentation. By the way, they also offer fried chicken, but I would recommend saving that protein for the RBC: Romaine, Bacon, Cherry Tomato and Cheddar cheese salad. 
    With the holiday season upon us, I love knowing that there we can make healthier choices (if we really want too) by choosing from their “field to fork” section.  Clean eating is not always possible, and Maple Street Biscuit Company now offers the perfect fitness-minded, fabulous-foodie options. #Grateful

Eating salad out of a mason jar? Now that’s a sight! The ambiance of the place feels very welcoming, I think that the next time I call for a lunch meeting, I’ll be holding it here. And the way you described the menu? Mouth watering. I want my clients to be able to experience a great meal while talking about business. Most of the time, meetings are a tad bit boring, but if the place is great and the food is good? Then I’ll definitely be able to catch their attention.
