District Biscuit Co. is now fully open out of its new restaurant on the Del Ray/Arlandria border.
What started out as a chef's pandemic project has expanded from farmers' markets to a permanent location in Alexandria, at 3401 Mt. Vernon Ave. in Del Ray.
The building once housed Silpancho's House.
The menu includes a variety of biscuits, biscuit sandwiches, biscuit beignets, gravies, eggs and more.
According to the company's website:
"Like many, in March 2020, our chef found himself in a time of great uncertainty and global crisis. A seasoned restaurant manager and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, the pandemic was not about to hinder his culinary creativity. With his passion for experimenting, he came up with a buttery, flaky, melt-in-your-mouth creation and knew these biscuits needed to be shared with the world. Sharing this idea over a biscuit tasting with his friend and future co-founder, District Biscuit Company was founded. Ever since, these biscuits have been winning over those who try them layer by layer, bite by bite. "
