Why can I not find a place to serve warm biscuits and gravy? It doesn’t matter what restaurant I go to, I always get cold gravy. When I say cold I mean just a few degrees above room temperature. I find it hard to believe that this is the way most people enjoy their biscuits. Is there something I’m missing?

I abhor being served cold butter. There ought to be a law…

No, cold gravy, even if the biscuits are warm (and they probably aren't, either), is not acceptable. The whole point of "comfort food" like this is to be warm and inviting. I like them warm enough that I have to wait a minute or two for them to cool off before actually eating them.

I don't like gravy really, but isn't the point of it that it's hot? Cold gravy just sounds disgusting.

You need to keep looking for a new spot to eat.

Tell the server to take take to the kitchen and warm it up. Make sure the manger knows the gravy is cold.

Because it's being left to sit too long before the waitstaff picks it up, they may be short handed or just DGAF.

Also I learned years ago in culinary school that as you age, your perception of temperature diminishes so the old trope about elderly people complaining about cold soup actually is rooted in science.

Customer in a deli: "Waiter, I can't eat this soup."

Waiter: "What, it's too cold? I'll heat it."

Customer: "You didn't give me a spoon."

Can't say I've ever had cold biscuits & gravy. That's an atrocity.
Glad to have some hole-in-the-wall types around here that do it well.

Little diner near the dealership where I worked in college. Svc Mgr would buy breakfast for the shop on Saturdays..
Usually the breakfast special [eggs, bacon, biscuit type plate].
Got him to change mine to B&G, cheaper & was full til well after lunch. 4 massive biscuits with a really good sausage gravy.

Oh it wasn’t sitting around waiting to be served. I voted and then was one of the first 5 customers in there. I made them correct it like I would anywhere. They also discounted my meal to compensate. I just have shit luck with food. That’s not just me crying, the wife agrees I get shafted way more than anyone she knows. It is just consistent with biscuits and gravy. Maybe I’ll have better luck with the election results.

You need to up your dining choices. Move beyond the blue plate special and sitting on a stool, and chatting with the lineman. There are options in Naperville. LOL

Wait, the OP is in Naperville? That might be the problem right there.

Hopefully it was free from foreign saliva after that.

No not Naperville. Today was in the Bloomingdale area. But I can think of 3 other restaurants roughly the same distance from my house where I’ve had the same issue. Never a problem with other dishes, just the B&G.

You can get biscuits and gravy piping hot just about anywhere in Central Ky. They'd probably excommunicate or execute anyone who served them cold.

Got a Waffle House near by?

That shit would be sent back.

Like vaguely sausage-flavored wallpaper paste.

You ruined the joke ...

A guy I worked with was very particular about his food and what he ordered . He told me a story about how he once sent his food back THREE TIMES !
Think about that for a minute ..
