Tillis comes to the defense of Bojangles biscuits after baking soda slam | 2017-12-28 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Republican | House | NC | Thom Tillis | T000476 | www.tillis.senate.gov | legacy | The Washington Post struck a nerve with Carolinians on Tuesday when a story appeared to take a swipe at Bojangles biscuits. Taste testers at the Post recently did ablind taste testof various fast-food biscuits, and they werent too fond of Bojangles. In fact, someone in the taste test in which Bojangles ranked only ahead of Burger King stated the restaurants biscuit is simply not a good biscuit. I can taste leavening in this; it tastes like baking soda, a taster in the rankings said. The story didnt sit well with many people, including Republican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, who took to Twitter to voice his opinion of the rankings. With all due respect to the @washingtonpost, their food tasters need to get their tastebuds checked out. @Bojangles1977 makes the best fast food biscuits, period, the senatortweeted, lightheartedly. Tillis nod of approval was praised by Bojangles, which responded with gratitude to the senator. Thank you, Senator! If ethics rules didnt prevent it, your next biscuit would be on us!
