USA
The United States of America is a vast country located in the North American continent. This country is the third largest in the world, and contains 50 different states full of unique culture!
Growing up in Excelsior Springs, Missouri in the United States has been very enjoyable! I have many friends in my city that I love to spend time with, and with bigger cities all around, it is only a short drive to any activity we want to do! Although my town is smaller than some around , I love the close feeling I get to all the people around me!
I have been to these states: Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and South Dakota, and have tasted food from all around our diverse country!

On January 31st, I stopped by The Blue Onion on Jesse James Rd in Excelsior Springs, MO for a plate of southern biscuits and gravy with hash browns. It was around 8:30 am, and I had hoped I'd missed the breakfast crowd. I wasn't expecting a line, but I definitely got one that nearly went out the door! The line at the breakfast counter was about six people deep when I walked up and another five people were waiting to pay at the register, and there was only one person working the counter, and one cook. I had heard the place could get busy, but this was insane… Finally, I ordered a delicious plate of southern biscuits and gravy, and a side of hash browns.
When I sat down to eat the biscuits and gravy, I had a feeling the biscuits would be crumbly and dry, it’s what I heard from my family who had eaten there. But it turned out to be moist and flavorful. I'm really glad the biscuits were fluffy, and the gravy had sausage- that’s just how I like it! The extra hash browns were a surprise on the side- that alone earned some respect.
Overall, my experience with The Blue Onion was extremely positive. It was perfectly crafted and delicious. Within minutes of eating my meal, I was overjoyed that I tried it. The gravy though could have been a little less thick, but maybe it was a cooking problem. I probably won't get the side of hash browns again due to their saltiness, but it was good and I will definitely try other things on the menu next time I visit. If anyone has any questions about the southern biscuits and gravy with hash browns, or The Blue Onion, leave a comment on my page and I'll get back to you!
