I'm not going to argue with that. It seems that most low-viscosity food garnishes that contain cornstarch or flower as a thickening agent is called gravy even when they are clearly a sauce or a roux.

well yes, gravy is a sauce.
A sauce made by mixing the fat and juices exuded by meat during cooking with stock and other ingredients.
Oxford Dictionaries[^]
roux is fat and flour, used to make sauces (including gravy)

And despite many visits to the US I never managed to see B&G on a menu. Obviously my loss.

it's mostly a breakfast thing, and probably harder to find outside the south (south-east, that is).

Closest I got to the South was Dallas. Most of my visits were Colorado (beautiful state) and the Western seaboard (LA, Bay area, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver - both of them).

i can't say i'd recommend seeking it out, next time you're over here. but it's not bad if you come across it. it's very filling!

You should be able to find it in a Dallas breakfast place. All the other geography you list is pretty much out of the zone. Even if they have it, it won't be the good kind.

I tried some last year at a Diner in Montpelier (Vermont) and it was crap.
BTW, the Diner was replaced with a Pub this year ...

Bojangles makes decent B&G

THIS!
Although their gravy used to be better. They've made it more mild than 30 years ago.

Grew up in Texas and I can count on one hand places I've visited north of the Mason Dixon that make a good biscuit, not even getting into the gravy yet. So that said... I make it myself, same as my brisket. Seriously simple recipe and doesn't take that long to make. My recipe started with these two:
Biscuits[^]
Gravy[^]
There is one place around where I live now that I trust but only if I'm desperate for a fix. Arby's and Hardees' are eh, although Chick-Fil-A biscuits are actually pretty decent. No gravy there though.
Biggest problem is the wheat used is all wrong, needs to be a soft red winter wheat. Seriously, try a McDonald's biscuit in the south vs the north. They are quite different. Second common mistake is over-mixing the dough, so instead of fluffy they are hockey pucks.
The gravy should not be healthy. I use lard or at the very least the drippings from whatever sausage I'm putting in. It is the same for my chicken fried steak gravy. Whole milk or if I'm feeling decadent I opt for heavy cream of half and half.

By "Biscuits" and "Gravy" I assume you mean light scones and wallpaper paste as that is what I found it means when I was in Oklahoma and Texas.
So, I don't like the "Gravy" but the "Biscuits" are not too bad with plenty of butter and perhaps honey.

Wardruna - Helvegen[^]
I'm still a bit in the folky mood from Castlefest.
Haven't seen this band live, but the final act reminded me of them.
Apparently, this track was heard in the Vikings TV series, but I haven't seen it.
Great track nonetheless!

My computer ran almost hour long update while I watched how tape measures are made on TV. When the computer finally booted Edge was broken. Luck provided a copy of IE so I could down load Chrome. Now I can read Dilbert cartons as God intended Windows to provide.
Before the hate mails starts; I program some electronic controller projects on a Linux machine for fun. Win 10 is for Sudoku puzzles and Dilbert. So you can hate me a bit less.

But windows 10 just for that? There is Chrome / Chromium for linux too... that's why I asked.
I don't know if it is good or crap. Never used it.
