Buttermilk biscuit and sausage gravy is split flaky biscuits topped with cream-based pork sausage gravy, the canonical Southern breakfast plate.

Biscuits and gravy have been Southern breakfast canon since the 1800s when settler-era cooks used pork drippings and milk to stretch a meal. Big Bad Breakfast (John Currence, Oxford Mississippi) opened the Birmingham branch on Highway 280 with the canonical Conecuh sausage gravy and buttermilk biscuit, and it remains the Birmingham brunch-counter signature alongside the meat-and-three Sunday plate at Yo' Mama's.
