Sun-tanned regulars roll in to grab breakfast. And tourists erupt from crammed cars, eager to load up on T-shirts, beer koozies, key rings and bumperstickers with the "Biscuits N' Porn" logo. I never in my life ever thought I'd be cooking biscuits on a Saturday morning on a grill! I think that these came out better than in my convection oven. I've only been using this egg for a week and besides a bad gasket.
