This isn’t just a biscuit named after the man—it’s the biscuit he actually ordered when he visited The State Farmers Market Restaurant. That’s right, you can still order the special that the late Sodfather himself, former agricultural commissioner Jim Graham, favored: a biscuit stuffed with streak-of-lean fatback, tomato, onion, and a hearty smear of mayonnaise.

 

Now, Jim Graham wasn’t just some name on a plaque—he was North Carolina’s agricultural commissioner for nearly four decades, and folks affectionately called him “The Sodfather” for a reason. The man knew his way around a farm and a good biscuit. And trust me, this biscuit lives up to the legend. The streak o’lean brings that salty, crispy punch, balanced out by the fresh tomato and onion, all hugged by that soft, buttery biscuit. The mayo? It’s the glue that ties this masterpiece together.

 

So if you’re feeling a little bit hungry and a whole lotta curious, order the Jim Graham Biscuit and taste a piece of North Carolina’s agricultural history.

 

It’s hearty, it’s humble, and it’s everything the Sodfather himself would’ve wanted.
