Biscuits are a Southern breakfast staple, and one Atlanta chef's take on the fluffy baked good has earned her a spot on a prestigious list.
Old Fourth Ward's Bomb Biscuit owner Ericka Council was just named one of Food andamp; Wine's 2024 Best New Chefs.
Council's biscuit business quickly grew from a stall on the BeltLine to a restaurant where fans crowd to grab one of its signature flaky treats.
The former software engineer told Good Day Atlanta that the love of cooking biscuits has been in her family for generations. Her grandmother, Mildred Cotton Council, opened the legendary soul food restaurant Mama Dip’s Country Kitchen in Chapel Hill, North Carolina more than 46 years ago.
"I just watched all the men and women both make biscuits and fried chicken," she said.
As part of the honor, Council will be featured in the magazine's October issue, which will be released later this month.
"One of the true pleasures of this job is discovering a FOOD andamp; WINE Best New Chef" Food andamp; Wine Editor-in-Chief Hunter Lewis said. "There are now 389 Best New Chefs dating back to 1988, and the chefs who have earned the accolade have shaped cuisine in America. From Thomas Keller and Daniel Boulud (both in the 1988 class of Best New Chefs) to Stephanie Izard (2011) and Kwame Onwuachi (2019), their influence on our food culture is undeniable. We proudly welcome the 2024 class into this legacy."
The magazine will also release a digital edition made for the new chefs.
