Menu
The restaurant was founded by head chef Erika Council,[2] a former software engineer.[3] She learned to cook from her paternal grandmother Mildred "Mama Dip" Council,[4] owner of Mama Dip’s Country Kitchen in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and her maternal grandmother civil rights activist Geraldine Dortch.[2] Council began hosting supper parties in Atlanta in 2018. She then began operating Bomb Biscuits as a pop-up restaurant in 2017. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bomb Biscuit began delivering food.[5]
