THE BIG BISCUIT® LAUNCHES A BRAND-WIDE CAMPAIGN TO RECOGNIZE AMAZING EDUCATORS DURING NATIONAL TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK MAY 6-10, 2024

________________________

The 27 Big Biscuit restaurants in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma will recognize the positive impact of 40 winning classroom teachers by awarding $4,000 in gift cards.

 
PRAIRIE VILLAGE, KS – The Big Biscuit®, the growing All-American Breakfast and Lunch concept, announced a brand-wide campaign to honor 40 educators during National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10, 2024. The Big Biscuit’s 27 Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma stores will participate in the Teacher Appreciation Campaign. 
 
“Today’s teachers are mentors for tomorrow’s leaders,” said The Big Biscuit President Chad Offerdahl. “This year, we want to recognize the passionate professionals who dedicate their lives to inspiring students, igniting creativity in their classrooms, and promoting kindness in the community. We encourage people to submit a nomination recognizing teachers who go above and beyond for their students and community.”
 
Nominators must complete an application and describe in 60 words or less why their teacher deserves recognition. Nominations are being accepted through Sunday, April 28. The 40 winners will be notified by email and receive a $100 Big Biscuit gift card by May 6. No purchase is necessary, and nominees must be currently employed classroom teachers.
 
Eleanor Roosevelt was the first champion of National Teacher Day, established in 1953. In 1980, the National Education Association and the National Parent Teacher Association designated the first full week in May to celebrate and show appreciation for teachers who get up early and stay late to ensure their students learn what they need to know. National Teacher Day is observed this year on Tuesday, May 7.
 
The Brand
A dynamic, modern brand focusing on sustainable growth, The Big Biscuit elevates the guest experience by emphasizing top-quality comfort food freshly prepared with a twist, like the Bonut, a buttermilk biscuit dipped in French toast batter and fried to perfection and tossed in powdered sugar. The Big Biscuit’s Bonut is an alternative to the donut and is available with add-on specialty toppings. 
 
The Big Biscuit’s robust menu also features award-winning oversized buttermilk biscuits with gravy, omelets, and griddled classics like pancakes, French toast, and egg Benedicts. The Big Scram-Bowl is a modern interpretation of a traditional omelet with eggs, ham, mushrooms, and cheddar. The Alamo is an overstuffed breakfast burrito featuring eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, jalapeño peppers, and a chipotle cream sauce smothered with jack and cheddar cheese and salsa. A guest favorite is Jim’s Platter, a classic breakfast featuring two hand-cracked eggs, a buttermilk biscuit with sausage gravy, and potatoes. Lunch items like half-pound fresh beef burgers, 24-hour brined fried chicken, and salads are also popular with diners.
 
Dishes are served in generous portions in a welcoming, family-friendly, and inclusive atmosphere.
 
The Locations
Headquartered in Prairie Village, The Big Biscuit has 27 restaurants throughout Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, including 18 Greater Kansas City-area restaurants, one in Joplin and two in Springfield, Missouri. The Big Biscuit’s Oklahoma locations are in Broken Arrow, Edmond, Midwest City, Owasso, and two in Tulsa. Expansion into Northwest Arkansas is slated for 2024. 
 
The Big Biscuit restaurants are open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., closing only on Thanksgiving and Christmas. At select locations Monday through Friday, private rooms are available for meetings and gatherings at no charge.
