DuGuerre sweetens his grits

[Cack]

Being from South Carolina you're supposed to know 2 main things ... grits and seafood. I absolutely HATE seafood (but can stand shrimp), but my fiancee LOVES shrimp and grits.

We went to Charleston for her bday in december and went to a place called Slightly North Of Broad (called SNOBs). She got their shrimp and grits and dubbed it the greatest she's ever had (she gets them EVERYWHERE).

The waitress told us that they had the recipe for them, so we picked it up.

It wasn't the EXACT recipe, but it was pretty dang good. I even had some and thought it was amazing.

Here's the food recipe and insructions

HA! Cornbread is on a whole different level – fightin words!!!!!!

I grew up on the Alabama coast so most of the State north of 1-65 considered us Yankees. My father when he went on business trips to Atlanta used to bring home tubs of stone ground grits from a mill right at the GA / SC line.

Man was that good eatin.

Cack adds cream to his grits, he is clearly a Yankee.

For the record, a little cream added to grits or polenta makes them so much smoother.

Do instant grits come in a pouch like instant oatmeal? Also, how'd you know I was lefthanded?

I like a semi stinky cheese in my grits.

I'm guessing you are talking about the old mill that used to be right off I-85 in Hart County Ga. It was located on the side of a large creek named Shoal Creek. It's been gone for many years but I remember it well.

For the record, Cack's FIANCEE adds cream to the grits. She's the grit maker in the house. If I attempted them they'd turn out tasting like a Yank made them

Chef Paul Pruhomme (sp) adds a veal sauce over the top. Sounds a little different, but it REALLY works.

I was too young to remember but that sounds like it - we have family all over between Atlanta and Greenville - most living in Okonee County, SC. We get together every once and awhile at Lake Lainer ... when it has enough water.
