Just Eat It: Fried Chicken Biscuit at Dahlia Workshop
It’s quite possibly Seattle’s best new breakfast sandwich.

Holy heck is there comfort food in South Lake Union, and with this heart stopper here, the nabe’s sudden love of things butter-and-bread gets outrageous.
Note the chicken—it’s fried, with toothsome peaks of crusty crisp. On top of it comes a surfeit of lava-like and tabasco-tinged black pepper gravy. Why stop there? Cough up another buck and add a fried egg. It’s a head scratcher, but the craggy butter biscuit doesn’t wither under the weight of all that gluttonous goodness. (Any leftover bits do, however, sufficiently sop excess gravy. Which—look at the picture—is par for the course.)
So where can you get it? Dahlia Workshop, Tom Douglas’s month-old biscuit bar and bakery anchoring Westlake and Harrison. Once again TD proves his breakfast sandwich chops with this $9 creation, maybe even upstaging the sausage, egg, and cheese handheld (a national favorite, no less) at Dahlia Bakery on Fourth.

i am real glad that seattle is now ALMOST on portland’s level when it comes to breakfast sandwiches! of course, nothing beats pine state biscuits.
Will definitely need to try this! And disagree about Pine State Biscuits; great concept, but highly overrated. Dry biscuits and a piece of chicken that seemed to be an afterthought.
no offense chris, but i think this is a better photographic representation of dahlia workshop’s fried chicken biscuit. of course, it is my own. so i may be biased.

Agreed, zeebleoop! (An iPhone can only do so much, after all…)

This is a tired tune . . . Portland will always be the ugly stepchild to Seattle. Time be a grown-up and get over that – or just get on the train and go back and leave the good eats, music, art, etc to those who LIKE being here.
