Reading John Bare’s My Biscuit Baby is the next best thing to wandering amongst the old stone walls of Chapel Hill. This is a story of politics, BBQ wars, international intrigue, and love. It is also a jukebox of memory — of chicken and cheese biscuits, blue cups at He’s Not Here, jamming at Cat’s Cradle, listening to Liquid Pleasure, walking in Battle Park, and watching the sunrise from the stone bench at Gimghoul Castle. Literary great Thomas Wolfe once wrote, “You can’t go home again.” Well it turns out that you can and John Bare’s jaunty, funny, and authentically Southern story takes us all home — to college, to friendship, to songs past, and to a time and place where so many of us found enlightenment.

My Biscuit Baby is a 90-proof tale flavored with Troll’s, Upper Deck and Springfest memories, as Lassie James and friends bury a Tar Heel classmate and defend against new threats to a Chapel Hill treasure. The story is a love letter to Battle Park.

Better than homemade cheese biscuits!
