Mendocino Flavors: Amazing biscuits and gravy in Hopland; Mendocino Cookie Co. celebrates 40 years, Gowan’s wins big and more
MENDOCINO Co., 7/18/24 — Being from the Midwest, one of the hardest dishes for me to find in California is biscuits and gravy — sausage gravy, in particular. My parents, both from the East Coast, found it a not-so-tasty offering when they first moved to Indiana. However, it grew on me over the years as a solid comfort dish that takes me back to carbing up after an early morning hike in the hills of southern Indiana or a recovery fix after a long night of partying. Either way, it’s been tough to find one in California that satisfies me like those at the country diners I grew up visiting.
