Momma rarely kept it for herself because she is a selfless woman, so instead my sister and I would fight over who got the biscuit. Honestly, they didn’t taste any different, but we all swore they were the best. I can remember these being the prized possession in the kitchen. These “funky biscuits” are reserved for the baker. You don’t quite have enough to make a perfectly round biscuit so you take the cuttings and smush them into what my momma calls a “funky biscuit” (she grew up in the 70’s folks). That was because Momma always made a bakers biscuit or two. My Momma would also let me make scrap biscuits, but Momma never quite left as many scraps Mawmaw did (I think Mawmaw did that on purpose). It fills my heart with so much joy to see him so excited and to remember my Mawmaw letting me do the same thing. He is always so proud of himself when we lay the thin pieces of overworked biscuit dough out onto the baking pan, and like his momma he thinks they are the best “biscuits” in the world. Any time he sees me reaching for my rolling pin, he runs into the kitchen asking to make biscuits with me. Grayson and Gunner both love to cook with me, but Grayson loves to bake. Now as a momma I let me boys do the same thing. An no matter how gross it may have tasted, I thought they were the best “biscuits” ever made. Let’s be clear, what I created was more like a cracker that was the size of a quarter and flatter than a flitter but I was always so proud when she let me bake it up in my own little pan in the big girl oven. My grandma, or Mawmaw as I always called her would let me take the little scrapes of dough that were left over from the dough on her hands and pieces that she couldn’t form into a real biscuit and would let me make my own biscuits. I can remember my momma and grandma making biscuits when I was a little girl. The Funky Biscuit will continue to showcase live music through the end of the month. “We’re hoping that with his help and some other things, that we can be back open sooner rather than later. He wants me to remain open,” Poliak says. As a result they expressed a willingness on Tuesday to adjust Poliak’s rent payments. The kind messages not only warmed Poliak’s heart, they gained the attention of Boca Raton real-estate entrepreneur James Batmasian of Investments Limited, owner of the Royal Palm Place building that houses the Funky Biscuit. Poliak’s Facebook announcement of the closing drew hundreds of Facebook comments, emails, and voicemail messages that filled his inbox.Īdditionally, testimonials flooded in from fans of the club both nationally and internationally, as well as from musicians for whom Poliak, also a keyboardist, is both a respected club owner and idol. “We tried pioneering this whole thing … but people are still just not coming out.” “It was not sustainable right now,” he says. Poliak said the close was due in part to an 80 percent loss of revenue during the past three months and his landlord who simultaneously was seeking rent. Beginning Memorial Day weekend, the Funky Biscuit was among the first South Florida venues to offer live shows under Phase 1 reopening guidelines for restaurants and bars.Īccording to the Sun Sentinel, thousands of dollars were spent to sanitize, refinish bars, replace carpets and reorient seating the new half-capacity audience and reopening. Owner Albert Poliak did not let the Funky Biscuit go out without a fight. The sold out show will take place on August 31 at 7 p.m.
