I KNEW that!!! I remember seeing you guys last year during the NCAA Tournament! I was going to a Giants game, and you guys were in the back of the bar cheering for Kentucky. I remember being so surprised that there were so many of you!!! I like Zeke's...they actually have the best Guinness on tap of any bar that I know of...

I discovered grits (and hush puppies YUM) when I went to Florida for the first time. Butter and salt is the best. ! The only kind I saw in the store the other day was instant though... don't think many people here in CA really buy them.

I agree -- yum-o! They have variations of shrimp and grits all over Charleston. The best I ever had was in Atlanta: Stilton cheese grits with shrimp and bacon on top. I could have eaten three plates of the stuff, but then I wouldn't have had room for the peanut butter pie for dessert.

And I also agree with honeychile -- always loved it when my grandma made garlic cheese grits casserole!

Mr. Bunny puts A-1 on EVERYTHING. I can't stand the smell of it, so I have to sit far, far away whenever we're eating something and he loads it in A-1. He ruins my grandma's homemade mac n cheese (the kind in the crockpot that sits for hours and has 5 different types of cheese and a 3-inch thick layer of grease on the top, but is sooo good) with it. Yuck. I don't think I could let him put A-1 on grits, but it's better than sugar. Sugar on grits is sacrilege.

Oh HELL YEAH. I live within walking distance of the Midtown one. Mmm....

Grits and sweet tea are the only Southern things about me.

This thread is making me sad. My grandmother made the best cheese grits.

RedRoseSAI · #11 02-19-2005, 10:33 AM

...and this thread is making me sad because I just visited San Antonio and had grits every morning with breakfast. ::sniff:: They were yummy. I dare not eat grits above the Mason-Dixon line.

ETA because I can't type this morning
