I discovered them about 23 years ago when I was moving back to
Pittsburgh from L. A. I was driving and I stopped for breakfast
at a Bob Evans in Ohio. I had never heard of Bob Evans and I was
only vaguely aware that such a thing as sausage gravy and biscuits
existed. They had it on their menu and that was the first time
I ever had it. After that I always looked for Bob Evans to have
sg&b when I travelled. Then we finally got a BE in Pittsburgh so
I could go more often. Then I decided to try to make my own when I
found the biscuit recipe. Now I never have them at Bob Evans because
my homemade sg&b is so much better, I can't bring myself to ean BE's.
However I have had excellent sg&b at a number of different diners at
which I have eaten on my travels. But mine are still the best. The
biscuits are much better and I put a lot more sausage in the gravy than
most places - some places barely put any sausage in at all!!!
