Where to Find a Good, Cheap Breakfast in Every State: Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen in North Carolina

Posted Sep 14, 2019
The famous fried chicken biscuits from Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen in Chapel Hill are so good, they've got cars lining up at the drive-thru-only shack before the window opens at 6 a.m. Each house-made biscuit is buttered right out of the oven, then stuffed with a piece of fried chicken. You can also opt for biscuit add-ins like country ham, sausage, gravy, a fried egg, cheddar. (Cheapism)
