After leaving Jack Brown\u2019s Burger Joint<\/a> in Birmingham, Cavin and I drove on over to Duluth, Georgia.  And I\u2019m going to be honest with you, we checked into our hotel and I went straight to bed.  I had a throbbing headache and couldn\u2019t even think about ringing in 2022.  I crawled into the bed around 7 pm, slept through the midnight madness of the new year, and woke up around 7 am feeling refreshed, but also rather hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve never been to Duluth, Georgia, you should go some time.  The downtown area is rather quaint and is adorned with trendy boutiques and restaurants.  I did not take the time to really get dressed or apply makeup.  I threw on a casual sweater just to go through a drive-thru somewhere and bring it back to the hotel.  Besides, who would even know or care?  It\u2019s not like I would see anyone I knew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was New Year\u2019s Day, there were not a lot of people out and about.  The town had partied hard the night before, so the town was a little \u201csleepy\u201d that morning.  A building that kind of looked like a chapel seemed to be calling out to us and the name of it really got our attention – Maple Street Biscuit Company<\/a>.  Did someone say \u201cbiscuit\u201d?  As if there was any question, we knew we had to go in!  I could feel my heart beat a little faster with excitement.  Maybe 2022 was going to be a great year!  At least I couldn\u2019t think of a better way to start with our first meal of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere was casual, yet captivating.  It was like a warm blanket that\u2019s familiar from the first time you wrap up in it.  Even though it was the first time we had been to this place, it felt like a friend.  We grabbed a menu and chose a biscuit and gravy along with a box of biscuits to go.   We sat down at a table to wait for the order.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a few minutes, I heard someone calling out my name – not to say our order was ready. It was the voice of an old friend.\u00a0 She was wearing a mask so I didn\u2019t recognize her right away.\u00a0 She pulled down the mask, and I recognized her immediately.\u00a0 We had a great time catching up with an old friend, who actually works at this restaurant and we didn\u2019t even know it! When I threw on my casual sweater and no makeup, I had no idea I would see an old friend, but it was totally worth it!\u00a0 I got to catch up with an old friend and meet a new friend – Maple Street Biscuit Company<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
