Build a Biscuit @ Peels (325 Bowery, 646.602.7015) I Googled, dreamed of and salivated over the “build a biscuit” breakfast at Peels but, being the indecisive diner that I am, ordered the poached eggs over biscuits with sausage and gravy instead. Don’t get me wrong, my dish was fantastic but a serious case of food envy had me peering over and begging for bites of the buttermilk biscuit sandwich with organic eggs, cheddar cheese and bacon that a friend ordered. The only downside (besides not ordering one for myself) was the shredded cheddar, which didn’t melt as well as, say, a sliced cheese would. The few bites of the sandwich were good enough to overlook the blaring “B” rating posted out front. Not something I’d normally advise, but no foodborne illnesses to report of… yet.
