The Roaming Biscuit Offers A Great Downtown Drop For Lunch

Shawnda Moye's The Roaming Biscuit sandwiches have had quite a few iterations, popping up at North Union Farmers Market or as CLE BiscuitHeads at Phoenix Coffee Co. with smoked brisket, bacon or pimento cheese and egg on fluffy biscuits.

But in June, The Roaming Biscuit found a home in the former Byte Cafe spot in AsiaTown’s Tyler Village Complex. Moye expanded the menu to include daily, in-house pastries, coffee and lunch sandwiches with specials such as braised beef.

The curry chicken sandwich ($9), which we enjoyed on naan bread, offered a spicier take on the typical chicken salad sandwich with green onions and carrots adding crunch. Meanwhile, whole grain mustard kicked up the cloud-like spuds in the potato salad ($3). But it was the Thanksgiving-inspired turkey club sandwich ($9) on a house-made dinner roll that reminded us of the chill in the air. The sweet-and-salty, pink-hued cranberry mayo cut perfectly through hunks of turkey and thick, crunchy bacon.

Having food in hand in about 10 minutes ensures we’ll be back for another workday lunch stop.
