Lynn learned her chops at Alfalfa Restaurant in Lexington, Ky. People used to come from all over the country to eat at her place.

1. Thanks, Alfredo!

We love biscuits and this recipe looks amazing. It's similar to my recipe only I use goat's milk, and pat them out on a board instead of in a glass 9x9. I also cut them out without folding or handling the dough too much. I melt butter on a rimmed baking sheet, dredge the top in butter then arrange them in the pan in the melted butter and bake at 425 for about 20 minutes. The photos are great. Sorry that Lynn's Paradise Cafe closed.

6. I had a girlfriend back in my younger years that was a horrible cook, but she could

make wonderful whole wheat biscuits.

7. I guess the upside would be that

you only miss her when you want whole wheat biscuits. Took me years to find out that cooking and baking were separate jobs. In my family it was considered lazy not to make bread for the evening meal. Everyone should have one knock-out dish they can take to a party, and I'm sure whole wheat biscuits would be welcome anywhere.

9. She seemed ok with baked goods, but a potato brought

2. Looks like it was a fun place...

thanks for the article.

Can you really call them biscuits, lol?

5. Call them anything you want. If they taste good, who's going to complain.

3. Oh my!

When did they close? I used to eat there when I lived in Kentucky. I'll have to make the biscuits myself, I guess

4. Saturday. It was all of a sudden. There was a dispute over a firing and tips for the

non servers. The servers had to carry cash because most pay by credit card and could not tip the bus boy and cooks without cash. I think she probably was burned out and figured it was time to say bye. She gave all of her food stock to the poor and shut the doors.

8. I'm pleased she gave the food away.

My husband and I ran a homeless shelter for three years and always appreciated the food gifts. I hate that she had to close, though

10. She's come a long way from a barefoot hippie chick to one

Of the top businesswomen in our state.

I hope she wasn't a dick about this, but she didn't give her workers much of a warning.
