The Wrap

A Southern chicken-and-biscuit joint is making its way back to Prince George's County. Bojangles in Upper Marlboro has pushed its reopening back a week to Monday, Nov. 9, after being closed since 2023. It'll serve made-from-scratch biscuits and all-day breakfast, inside or at the drive-thru. Biscuits are worth the wait.
