Former Beignet Pop-Up Makes Progress on Brick-and-Mortar and a Second Location – Fort Worth Magazine

The Dusty Biscuit is on a bit of a hiatus right now as it puts finishing touches on its upcoming brick-and-mortar a big move for the formerpop-up that once served out ofan Airstream and isnow moving into the former Alchemy Pops space at411 S. Main St.

But the beignet concept which wowed Near Southsiders with creative spinslike maple bacon and theEverything Beignet-gal has more up its sleeve. The Dusty Biscuit is simultaneously opening a second location that is, another food truck inRendon, about 20 30 minutes from Fort Worth.

Dusty Biscuit will take over an extra trailer from ShaneBoys Craft Hawaiian Grindz, parking at 5731 Rendon Bloodworth Road near ShaneBoys and Hesters Fireworks. Dusty Biscuit owner Trey Smith says his food trailer will offer both beignetsand rotating Cajun options like creole-style gumbo and fried chicken dishes. Its expected to open in May.

As for the Fort Worth brick-and-mortar, Smith says he doesn't have a firm opening date yet, but"it can be as quickly as the next month." The approximately 500-square-foot spacespace is currently under construction and will feature a window into the kitchen so customers can watch their beignets as they're being made. Dusty Biscuit will also be utilizing the patio seating at adjacent venue The 4 Eleven,if no events are taking place that day.

The new space will allow Dusty Biscuit to expand its menu, Smith says. Expect an expanded coffee selection(including frozen caf au lait), specials like buttermilk biscuits and chicken and beignets, and, of course, beignets inmore sweet and savory varieties.

What's more Dusty Biscuit will be neighboring theupcoming Emporium Pies and already open Morgan's Ice Cream, something Smith says he's pretty pumped about.

Right at 4 Eleven, youll have Emporium Pies, Dusty Biscuit Beignets, a block down youve got Morgans Ice Cream, and theyre good friends of mine as well youve got, like, Dessert Capital of Fort Worth right there," Smith says."Youve got to get a pair of stretchy pants before you go home.
