Personal Notes:
This recipe is from Jack McCarthy's Restaurant Recipes. Jack McCarthy hosted Friday Feast on Channel 7 out of Detroit from 1979 thru 1982. This recipe is from The Old South Bar-B-Que restaurant in Warren, MI. Not sure if this restaurant still exists but when my family has to have their biscuits and gravy a couple times a year, this is the recipe I use.
