BAJA BISCUITS
I had a great downhome pigout of homemade biscuits and spicy sausage gravy this morning at a new little restaurant in La Paz called Baja Biscuits.
First time I've enjoyed that kind of meal since living in the Arizona mountains, at a little joint where one of Barry Goldwater's sons (dead ringer
for the old man, kind of spooky) was a frequent customer-- and it was a real treat.
Baja Biscuits is owned and run by a nice young couple from Tampa, Florida, named Ace and Linda Shawver. They're located at 1251 Belizario Dominguez,
about three doors from the corner of Cinco de Mayo in La Paz on the west (water) side of the street. They're open for breakfast, brunch or lunch from
8 AM to 12:30 or 1 PM, Wednesdays through Saturdays.
Besides offering a great plate of buttery biscuits with spicy sausage gravy, they also serve breakfast burritos, homemade quiche, waffles with
strawberries and whipped cream, cinnamon buns, bagels with flavored cream cheese, fruit salad, coffee and tea. And, they make their own sausage and
may be offering it as a separate, take-home item.
For a breakfast freak like me Baja Biscuits is a godsend and another fine addition to a neighborhood that already boasts some of the best restaurants
in La Paz.
To Ace and Linda and their kids -- thank you for doing what you're doing, and welcome to La Paz!

BAJA BISCUITS
The lumpy kind you usually get in gravy.
Don't actually know -- they're making it themselves but I didn't ask about ingredients. It was tasty though, had some real flavor for a change.

Watch that rear-end
The official state meal in Oregon. You can tell by their physique. I guess some people like that kind of food. Really "sticks" to your ribs et all
Hmmm, I wonder if people ever thought about the nutritional/dietary value of such. Naaaa...
Not a good food to promote methinks but hey they understand demographics obviously. I think it's hilarious to name your restaurant Bigass Bisquits
& Gravy.
Oh well...it's like beating a dead horse.
End of sermon.

Went to Baja Biscuits this morning.
We had a very enjoyable breakfast and I would recommend it. All the food was served piping hot.
Biscuits - excellent (order butter on the side unless you like lots of butter)
Biscuits and gravy - very good (no lumps though so can't call it homemade:lol
Spinach quiche - very good
Breakfast burrito - excellent
Coffee - excellent
Orange juice - fair
I think the world is run by C- students.

Hey sharks...we all know it a heart attack on a plate...does that change anything, when you grew up with the best food ever made???
You give a old soul the choice of elegant breakfast or biscuits and gravy like my mama taught me to make...the only reason elegant meal sell is we all
know about heart attacks...
I do think it is a good thing the younger generations are not exposed to real food
Texas country boy...Albert
PS...there is a lot more food to this story...

Well Al, like I always said,food is subjective. I was watching a movie from the sixties showing masses of the general public. There were not any fat
people that I could see.
When people excuse their diet simply because something tastes good then we're on the right track to the root of the problem. Of course people don't
see it as a problem"it's my body" they say. What a crock. The next generation is supposed to have a shortened lifespan for the FIRST time.
That bothers me because it means that these people who constatly indulge in this type of eating surely will overtax our health care system. Why
should I have to pay for someones health that could be controlled by conscientious eating. Don't get me wrong, it is ok to eat heart unhealthy foods
occasionally. The problem I seee is the proliferation of corporate food products that lack little or ANY nutrition.
Another point is the products addicting additives. It might behoove some folks to look at the ingredients more closely. People these days hardly
scrutinize what goes into their meal. Biscuits and gravy is a perfect example.
I know what I say means diddly to anyone really. I just don't get it. I guess it's whatever makes you feel good......until that fateful day you learn
you and your 12 yr old son have diabetes or you have to undergo a quadruple bypass. That will MAKE you change your habits, or not. Especially when
famous aging fat actors try to sell you blood testing equipment. I guess that reinforces that it's ok to be that way. Wow, what a society we live
in!
So go ahead, keep thinking that mom was serving you the wrong foods. Not true I'll bet. I'll bet your parents didn't get fat until the packaged and
prepared food market took off in the 80s.
Oh.... and don't forget to exercise regularly.
You mean elegant food can't taste good? How rediculous.

worked with a guy who went to the gym everyday, hiked, biked and went swimming as a regular workout, The guy ate fish, chicken and salads, drank soy
and green tea. A real healthy specimin that made the rest of us look like sloths. he was killed when he was ran over by a bus crossing the street on
one of his jogging trips
Since then, I don't pass up anything that "could be bad" for me............eat dessert first!!!!

Just looking out for your heart
"Just my meaningless dos centavos"
That's how I see it too. I suppose it is a waste of time to espouse to an
alternative.Sorry man just the line of work I'm in. I didn't say NOT to eat there. There are plenty of foods elsewhere that I feel the same way about.
Just I see it so prominately here.
Sooooo you are defensive but then, so am I. I have opinions to express on the subject that I find relevant and important. I'm sorry if you don't. You
have lots of company so do a push-up. If you can.
Actually if I had eaten there I wouldn't say a word about it here. Do you know why?

Because you are a hypocryte and a food snob?
I bet that's the wrong answer...
Bye the bye, I was not defensive about it and if you would like to have a little push up contest..... well, that would just be damn funny. I guarantee you I would kick your hiney. |
So you are ignorant or just plain stupid??
Pushups.... anytime hiney.

Well Al, like I always said,food is subjective. I was watching a movie from the sixties showing masses of the general public. There were not any fat
people that I could see.
I am not sure which rocket I fired
Of course people don't see it as a problem"it's my body" they say. What a crock. The next generation is supposed to have a shortened lifespan for the
FIRST time.
I just don't think this applies in California????I think I am the only fat person here
Do you know that people run so much here they not only have to repave the roads...they have to repave the sidewalks every year...
That bothers me because it means that these people who constatly indulge in this type of eating surely will overtax our health care system.
I thought we were talking about a couple of eat out breakfasts???
Why should I have to pay for someones health that could be controlled by conscientious eating. Don't get me wrong, it is ok to eat heart unhealthy
foods occasionally. The problem I seee is the proliferation of corporate food products that lack little or ANY nutrition.

My god man...what do you put in your gravy???
I know what I say means diddly to anyone really. I just don't get it. I guess it's whatever makes you feel good......until that fateful day you learn

famous aging fat actors try to sell you blood testing equipment. I guess that reinforces that it's ok to be that way. Wow, what a society we live in!
I believe you got my 50's food mixed up with your junk food of today...maybe?
So go ahead, keep thinking that mom was serving you the wrong foods. Not true I'll bet. I'll bet your parents didn't get fat until the packaged and
prepared food market took off in the 80s.
My parents were never fat...both past at 84 and 89 years...they were turn of the century babies
Oh.... and don't forget to exercise regularly.
Damn ..does everyone have to keep reminding me
How come my parents didn't have to
You mean elegant food can't taste good? How rediculous. I did not say it does not taste good...just not as desirable.
The more I read this the more I think we are talking about different foods...

I always have had trouble in the food dept on this board. It's like insulting someones mother then trying to defend yourself. Good luck.
Desirable? That about sums it up Al, gracias.
Whatever you think is good food....must be good food. Now that supports my subjective theory. (sigh)

Hell Sharks...if you raise a kid on peanut butter, that is what he will desire. My favorite meal was pinto beans over sweet corn bread with a topping
of chow-chow...still to this day it is my favorite. Great chefs give you variety and new...but you heart desires old...your new self desires new.
At my age it is all about health...and expect to live past my parents.
If I give up my old desires, the cost may be to high...after all we are here to enjoy ourselves...right?
